Favorite aspect of your school: My favorite aspect of Appleton North High School is the amazing staff. They help push students to be the best version of themselves and be prepared for their future.

If you have been involved in community service projects, which has been most rewarding and why? I was a part of my brother Cole's non-profit Coles Crusade, a children's obstacle run. It has been the most rewarding because of what it is run for. He raises money for children with critical illnesses, while also giving money to Make-A-Wish as being a Make-A-Wish kid himself. It shows me that even with all my problems and hard things in life, these children are going through way more than I am.

What is your favorite class? My favorite class ever has been Algebra 2 For Pre-calc

Who is your favorite teacher? Although he is my coach, my favorite teacher is Mr.Clough.

What is the best advice one of your coaches has given you? Become the best version of myself on and off the mat, this has impacted me greatly and has pushed me in so many ways to achieve greatness.
