In the interview, host Peter Busch talks about how the 24-year old head coach has already dealt with the kind of turbulence that coaches hope they never have to encounter.
 
“It's been a learning experience to say the least. It's one of those things that as you go you make some mistakes but we make good on what we're doing here and a great coaching staff that supports me.” Lawson stated.
 
"The interview really allows NJIT swimming to get a broader audience within the swimming community as we continue to grow the program and recruit high quality athletes from the New Jersey area.”
 
In his second season at the helm, Lawson was Interim Head Coach during the 2010-11 season and served as an Assistant Coach in 2009-10.
 
In 2010, Lawson graduated Magna cum Laude from NJIT with a Bachelor of Science in Architecture and in 2011 with a Master of Science in Management, specializing in Organization Management.
