What is something unique about you? I really like to learn languages and about different cultures. I’m learning French
and German right now.
Any superstitions? I eat a bagel every tournament morning
Why did you choose Wichita State? I idolize many people Wichita State has produced not only as bowlers but as people,
and I knew this school had a huge impact on that. I wanted to be a part of Shocker
Bowling because I knew that’s how I’d become the best version of myself, alongside
awesome people and world class coaches.
What do you want to do after graduation? Work in finance at Koch Industries.
