The President's Club

My connection to Saint Xavier University began at a young age, when my oldest brother, Frankie, attended SXU and was part of the 2011 National Championship football team. My other brother, Mikey, also attended the University in 2016. Through both of them, I was introduced early on to the strong sense of family, pride, and tradition that defines the SXU community. From that point forward, Saint Xavier always felt like home to me.

When I committed to Saint Xavier during my senior year of high school, I was excited to embrace the Cougar experience fully. From the moment I arrived on campus, I felt a genuine sense of belonging and purpose, knowing I was part of something bigger than myself. The relationships I built, the values I developed, and the support I received throughout my time at SXU shaped me both personally and professionally. I carry a tremendous amount of pride in being a Cougar, and that pride fuels my desire to give back wherever I can.

My decision to give back to Saint Xavier is inspired by the values the University instilled in me—community, service, leadership, and faith. My experiences as a student-athlete, combined with seeing the opportunities SXU provided my brothers and so many others, motivated me to invest in a place that has given so much to my family and me. I am especially passionate about supporting areas that enhance the student experience, whether through athletics, academic programs, or resources that help students thrive both in and out of the classroom. Supporting Saint Xavier matters because I know firsthand the impact a strong, supportive university can have on a student’s confidence, growth, and future. I want students to have access to the same sense of belonging, opportunity, and encouragement that I experienced. I hope my support helps students succeed academically, grow as leaders, and feel empowered to pursue their goals. More broadly, I see my giving as a way to strengthen the SXU community and help advance the University’s mission—today and for generations to come.

To current and future Cougars: take pride in being part of this community, get involved, and never hesitate to lean on the people around you. Saint Xavier is a place that truly wants to see you succeed—embrace every opportunity, and always remember that you are part of something special.

GO COUGS!
