Sam Lofquist

Hello everyone. I am currently a senior at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. This year I have completed my requirements for my BA in Psychology. I will be in school for another year to earn a BA in Economics. The graduate school debate has been a topic of self thought for quite some time now. My favorite sport other than basketball is bowling, and I am the captain/president of the university's team. We travel around the region competing against some of the top schools in the nation. My ultimate career goal is to become President of Basketball Operations for the Minnesota Timberwolves. My hope is that my experience from bowling will help guide me into the sports industry. I have some coaching experience, but this is the year is the most important one of my career because I will have to make important personnel decisions in addition to performing well myself.
