Coach Ripa really helped me through some tough times while I was at Brown. I was going to quit fencing but he spent a lot of time talking with me and helped me figure out what I wanted. I thought it was pretty great of him that he continued to work with us on the men's team even after he was only rehired for the women's varsity team when they were reinstated after the stupid cut. I know he felt bad for the recruited fencers that had committed to Brown ahead of the cut and it was a really unfair position for us to be in.
