I joined the Army because I wanted to change my life.
Being a member of the Army’s World Class Athlete Program is important to me because it gives me a chance to compete on a world-class level.
The first sport I ever played was Baseball. I love my sport because it is a one-on-one sport.
I like to listen to rap and rock. I get pumped up for competition by listening to music.
My favorite food is chicken breast.
When I’m not in training or practicing I like to lift weights.
The person I most admire in the world is my mother.
The mentor who influenced me the most is my grandfather.
The best advice I ever got from my grandfather: "Never, never let up, no matter how small the challenge."
