ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFAthletics.com) - Throughout his job search this spring, Chris Feigenbaum utilized the traits that helped him serve as a valuable member of the UCF men's soccer team the last four years. And as a result of his tenacity and determination, Feigenbaum, who earned his bachelor's degree in business management last week, landed a job.

Feigenbaum, who appeared in 43 career contests as a Knight, will move to Fort Myers later this month where he will work for Cintas as a management trainee. Cintas is a corporation that provides specialized services to businesses of all types throughout the world.

Feigenbaum credits his time as a student-athlete for helping him during his job search and the interview process with Cintas.

"It was a help," he said. "I think that being a student-athlete helps in being more motivated than everyone else. You have to have plans for after college."

Many of the Cintas employees that he met with during his interview were former student-athletes, and they could certainly relate to Feigenbaum's experiences at UCF.

His experiences included helping head coach Bryan Cunningham continue to build the UCF program into one of the nation's best. Feigenbaum, along with fellow seniors Cameron Cooksey, Warren Creavalle, Kevan George and Spencer Scott, all participated in a pair of NCAA Championships, something that Feigenbaum is proud of.

"It has come a long way," he said about the program. "We helped with the new direction."
