Favorite Movie?

RK:  Surviving the Game-Ice T rules!  I saw Goal-the Dream Begins the other week, it’s not bad either.

Favorite Drink?

RK:  Newcastle-smooth ale.  When that’s not around I drink Cape Cods-a friend of friend turned me on to them at a wedding reception.

Favorite Lacrosse Head?

RK:  Warrior Razer with six diamond mesh.  I’ve had a few break, but I like the feel of the head.

Mesh or Traditional?

RK:  I always used traditional before coming to Houston, but it rains too much around here and traditional takes too much time to adjust.  Life is too busy to adjust a pocket every night

TT:  What has been your best lacrosse experience?

RK:  Scoring a goal against SMU my senior year at A&M on Simpson Drill field and having my momentum from the breakaway goal carry me to side of the field where the Aggie Band was standing, who was getting ready for a review after our game.  They knew I was cadet and when I scored they all dog piled me-that was cool.

TT:  What is your favorite sports team?

RK: Houston Dynamo

TT:  What are your thoughts on the team?

RK:  It's nice to finally have a team that is a true "team"-we had so many weapons.  It seemed like someone new stepped up every game.  Whether it was Tim (Glass) in the San Antonio game or me with UTSA, Joel (Hill) against Metro at their place, or Matty (Shearer) in the championship, we had so many options.  That made us a hard team to stop.
