Obvious answer would be winning the National Championship. I would also include the total life experience I had at Maine. From getting dropped off as a Freshman who thought he was in shape because he owned a weight lifting belt to leaving after graduating with my future wife and dealing with so many ups and downs along the way. Maine truly helped shape who I am today. The birth of our 3 boys. Each boy was born in the city I was playing in. Houston, Rochester and Graz, Austria.
