GETTING TO KNOW FRITZ
Nickname: Buddy, Smooth
Why did you choose Lehigh? Though the proximity to the bustling metropolis of Allentown was a major factor, I would say Lehigh’s reputation as a great engineering university drew me here. The opportunity to develop athletically at the Division I level was also a requirement of mine that Lehigh satisfied.
What’s your favorite thing about Lehigh? I appreciate how unique of an experience living in Bethlehem is
Major & Why: Computer Science & Engineering. I’m very interested in integers and things of that nature.

Favorite Athlete In Another Sport: Michael Vick (at Virginia Tech)

Biggest sports accomplishment: Western PA G19 Youth Football Super Bowl Champion (2007)
One unique thing no one knows about me: I am a descendant of the Native American tribe that welcomed the early pilgrims.
Magazine Cover I'd Like To Be On: Good Housekeeping
Place I'd Like To Visit: Nagano
Talent I’d Most Like To Have: Throwing shuriken accurately while maintaining power.
