First Volleyball Memory: When I was 10 years old, my sister taught me what volleyball is and how to play. When she showed me how to set, I immediately became obsessed with learning how to set softly without making any sound when touching the ball. I joined the middle school team the next year and have been playing ever since.

Favorite volleyball Moments:

• Meeting my wife through Purdue Club Volleyball.

• Four consecutive top 16 finishes in D1 for Purdue at the NCVF national championships. One of which being a top 4 finish.
