Specializing in the breaststroke, Colin lettered all four of his years at Park Tudor School in Indianapolis and was captain his senior year. He was a four-year winner of his high-school MVP award. His performance in the classroom and in the 100 breaststroke earned him Academic All-America and Academic All-State distinctions. Additionally, Colin was also a two-time Scholastic All-American. Furthermore, he graduated holding five school records, two on relays, three in individual events. Swimming for Washington Township Swim Club, Colin is the Central Zone record holder in the 100 breaststroke.

In the 2005-2006 season Colin finished ninth in both the 100 and 200 breaststroke at the EISL Championships.

On campus, Colin is the Director of Individual Sales for the Yale Economic Review and is the Social Chair for the Phi Chi chapter of Beta Theta Pi.

Colin's most memorable Yale experience was last year's Patriot Invitational, where Yale crushed Duke in the final relay to win both the relay and the meet. Colin decided on Yale because of the great academics and tight-knit group of guys that embodies the experience of being a Yale swimmer.
