I want to create and implement programs designed to achieve those goals." … list Coach Chris as one of his biggest sports influences. "He’s like a second father to me, and from Day 1, he saw something in me that I couldn’t even see in myself. He took me under his wing, and we would train multiple days a week, and he would push me to places I didn’t know I could go. He is one of the biggest factors as to why I’m in the position I am today.

That was a moment that I was dreaming about since I was a kid, and for that moment to finally happen, it just made all the workouts and camps, and practices all worth it." ... enjoys playing instruments - "My favorite is the piano, but I also play guitar. I also enjoy doing live sound production."
