Why I decided to come to the Academy: “The Air Force Academy offers an excellent education, where I will get to work alongside some of the brightest men and women in our country. I want to be in an atmosphere where I’m constantly being pushed out of my comfort zone, which will in turn help me work towards becoming a better version of myself every day. I also wanted the opportunity to compete in the Mountain West for a conference title.” … hobbies are running, hiking, skiing, and of course hanging with the boys … began playing tennis at age six and played first tournament at age 10 … credits biggest influences on his tennis career on his supportive family and also growing up watching college tennis and hitting with former college players … something most people don’t know about him is that he’s right-handed but plays tennis left-handed … enjoys listening to country music … favorite movie is Miracle.
