Personal

Why did you choose Eau Claire?

"There are plenty of reasons why I choose UW-Eau Claire. First to mention, is my family connection to the campus. Many of my family members have graduated from Eau Claire and have had nothing negative to say about each and everyone of their experiences. I decided to look into the School during my senior year of high school, because of the family connections I had, and I fell in love with the campus and the university. The biggest shove to win me over was the outstanding athletic facilities and coaching staff. I found a great place to call home."

Why do you choose to play Division III?

"I choose to play Division III because the competition in the state of Wisconsin is next to none. I also wanted to continue my athletics in my home state of Wisconsin."

Who is your role model/mentor? Why are they important to you?

"My Father. He has taught me so much throughout my life. He's been there for me in athletics and academics. He's coached almost all of my sports teams, and is my number 1 supporter. I hope to be as good as a man as he."

What's the best sports movie/show/series?

"Talledega Nights"
