I thoroughly enjoyed my year spent with the team and the city of Nashville. Through the leadership, coaching and teammates of the Titans organization, I have become a better player; certainly a more football-knowledgeable player. I had a strong pre-season and I still believe the space to grow exists. I look forward to my next opportunity on the field and I remain ready for my NFL career to resume. So ready.

Aside from intense training back home in New Jersey and tryouts for NFL teams, I have been keeping busy as a Board of Trustee member of Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia. I am a member of the Student-Affairs and Athletic Committees, respectively. Already a fine liberal arts institution of higher learning, I hope my youthful exuberance and ideological principles can help elevate Hampden-Sydney to another level. This is my first Board appointment and I am by far the youngest member in the room, but I refuse to be intimidated. God has placed me in this position in life for a reason, so my obligation is to deliver my best qualities to the position in an effort to honour Him, my family and those who entrusted me with this lofty responsibility.

Oh yeah, I just celebrated my 25th birthday with a snow storm, a Florida State molly whopping over NC State, and an Arabic Rosetta Stone.

I will check back soon to provide another update for you all. Thanks for your support! Salaam.

We took an audio tour of the museum which educated us on the colonial influence, propaganda, severity of the violence, aftermath and personal narratives of genocide survivors. It was the absolute most sobering experience of my life. Disgust and horror hit me first, then I felt encouraged by the strength of the Rwandan people to recover and move onward to their desired prosperity. After the museum, we flew to another part of Rwanda where the International Rescue Committee staff greeted and transported us across the border to the DRC. We had a few meetings on logistics, planning and personal/collective goals from our trip. I believe we have a clearer understanding of our purpose to use networks, resources & influence to innovatively improve a system which unfortunately currently produces a non functional community in the DRC.

There, I joined with fellow CGI Lead members and organizers. We traveled to Kigali, Rwanda which would serve as our stop over point before we make the trek to the DRC. After a bit of lost luggage scare, we drove to our hotel, Kigali Serina, passing another hotel – the infamous one depicted in the movie Hotel Rwanda. After a night of food and lively discourse, we retired for our early departure the following morning. Rwanda is full of history and before we left, we would receive a master’s level tutorial on the subject.
