What was your welcome to the varsity moment?
Becoming a varsity wrestler. It’s a lot different when you’re on the varsity because you’re pushed so much harder in practice.

What has been the most life changing event you’ve experienced?
Working with special-ed kids has opened my eyes to many things and made me realize how blessed i really am, so probably when i started working with them.

What’s on your bucket list?
Win state in wrestling, go skydiving, travel out of the country, start a family, and somehow become a decent golfer.

What’s your hidden talent?
I can say the abc’s backwards faster than i can say it forwards.

Besides you, who is the best athlete in your family?
My dad, because he runs 10 miles every morning and then works out and there’s no way i could do that.
