He was an anchor of the offensive line at the University of Illinois, where he started 45 consecutive games during his career (1997-2000). He was voted second team All-Big Ten in both 1999 and 2000. The Football Writers Association voted him third team All-America after his senior season. He currently works as the recruiting coordinator for the Retired Professional Football Players of Chicago Dollars for Scholars Organization.
