WHY LINFIELD? I chose Linfield to play in the men’s tennis program under coach Ben Belletto.
 
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD? Being a student-athlete means working hard in the classroom before getting on the court.
 
WHAT MAKES YOU INTERESTING AS A STUDENT-ATHLETE? I am comfortable being a leader, even as a freshman.
 
WHAT IS NEXT AFTER LINFIELD? I want to be a tennis coach after Linfield, I hope to get some good tips from the upper classmen on the team.
 
WHAT'S THE BEST LINFIELD CLASS YOU'VE TAKEN AND WHY? Anatomy really showed if I dedicate myself enough, I can succeed in any class.
 
WHO HAS BEEN THE GREATEST INSPIRATION IN YOUR LIFE? I would say Novak Djokovic and Kobe Bryant. Their work ethic was second to none and they inspired me to believe anything is possible.
 
THE GREATEST PRINCIPLE OR LESSON THAT I'VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN... Life does not revolve around sports or tennis. I have learned being here that I am part of a culture much bigger than myself. Helping show the undergraduates the ropes of things is something I take pride in just as how the seniors did for me my freshman year. It starts with being a good person, then academics, and then tennis.
 
AS A LINFIELD STUDENT-ATHLETE, MY GOALS INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY FOR MY TEAM ARE... My goal has always been to be a top competitor in the conference and to give myself a shot at the Hall of Fame. Becoming the best player, I can be in my last two years is essential but as a team I want us to be in the conference tournament competing to go to nationals, which is very possible and my number one goal.
