When Justin McKnight graduated in 2000 from Pennsylvania's Bucknell University, he was the first in his family to get a college degree, thanks to athletic scholarships he earned for his skills in an unusual sport. McKnight went on to earn a master’s degree in mental health counseling in 2016 from Viterbo University, where he taught as an adjunct professor before taking on the position of Viterbo’s director of counseling services.
