WHAT ARE THE REASONS YOU CHOSE TO ATTEND LINFIELD? 
I chose to attend Linfield due to the constant success of the football team. Participating in the football program will give me structure that I can use down the road in life. Also, the sport management program was one that not many schools provided. All this along with Linfield being close to home, made it a perfect fit for the next four years of my life.
 
WHAT DOES BEING A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD MEAN TO YOU? 
Being a student-athlete means to put yourself out there as a contributor on the team to help the team win a championship while also furthering yourself in education to set yourself up for a career after college.
 
HOW HAS PARTICIPATING IN SPORTS MADE YOU A BETTER PERSON? 
Sports has made me a better person when it comes to teamwork. Sports allows me to communicate on and off the field with others to achieve success. It teaches you to run at adversity instead of hiding.
 
WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS? 
In 10 years, I see myself working in the professional sports world while also beginning a family of my own.
 
WHAT'S THE BEST LINFIELD CLASS YOU'VE TAKEN AND WHY?
My best class I took was a Ted Lasso-themed INQS Writing course I took my fall semester of freshman year. Did a lot of self-reflecting during the class as we connected the main character, Ted, to ourselves, and overall, I took away good lessons of always believing in myself.
 
WHO HAS BEEN THE GREATEST INSPIRATION IN YOUR LIFE? WHY HAS HE OR SHE BEEN SO INFLUENTIAL?
I would say my friend Caden. He has always been by my side as we competed together in our entire lives. He always has my back and we push each other to get better and maximize our abilities on and off the field.
 
THE GREATEST PRINCIPLE OR LESSON THAT I'VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN...
“-You are what you repeatedly do
-10% of people do 90% of the work” 

These standout to me because it represents doing the little things right even when no one is watching and don’t rely upon anyone but yourself to take care of the work even when it is difficult and easy to ignore
 
AS A LINFIELD STUDENT-ATHLETE, MY GOALS INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY FOR MY TEAM ARE...
My goals individually are to help the team in any way that I can which will hopefully contribute to my collective goal of winning conference and going deep in the playoffs.
