ALL ABOUT NICK

AREA OF STUDY: Accounting

WHY NICK CHOSE IU EAST: I chose IU East because of Coach Hester. I've always enjoyed Coach Hester, and he has always been a guy I could talk to from Day 1. In addition to him, after talking to the guys on the team it feels like I've already been here for a year and played with the team. Everyone is very nice and I feel like I knew them before I met them.
