WHAT ARE THE REASONS YOU CHOSE TO ATTEND LINFIELD? I wanted to finish off my college career closer to home so my parents could attend my games, and I wanted to play for a knowledgeable coach like Dan Spencer. 
 
WHAT DOES BEING A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD MEAN TO YOU? I feel a sense of pride at Linfield that I haven't felt at previous colleges, so I feel more proud to wear the Linfield uniform. 
 
HOW HAS PARTICIPATING IN SPORTS MADE YOU A BETTER PERSON? Sports have humbled me in many ways while also teaching me the importance of persistency when things aren't going your way. 
 
WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS? I see myself having built something that allows me to be my own boss. 
 
WHAT'S THE BEST LINFIELD CLASS YOU'VE TAKEN AND WHY? Social Seminar with Professor Kozak Williams. Great teacher that creates a judgement free environment. 
 
WHO HAS BEEN THE GREATEST INSPIRATION IN YOUR LIFE? WHY HAS HE OR SHE BEEN SO INFLUENTIAL?  My dad. He has always had my back and reminds me of my strengths when I’m down. He has great character and has modeled that for me my entire life. 
 
THE GREATEST PRINCIPLE OR LESSON THAT I'VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN... You play to win and grow, your personal stats are cool but nothing is cooler than winning with your teammates. 
 
AS A LINFIELD-STUDENT ATHLETE, MY GOALS INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY FOR MY TEAM ARE... To grow and mature in how I play the sport and creating and example/expectations for the younger groups who come into Linfield. My team goal is to help create a winning culture and take home the National Championship
