Background

I am from the Quad Cities, Illinois, specifically a small rural town named Taylor Ridge. I attended Alleman Catholic High School, where I played football, basketball, and track, and was a member of Student Council and National Honor Society.

Currently I am enrolled at Iowa State University, where I intend to major in Agricultural Engineering (Power and Machinery option). I also play football for the cyclones, with a redshirt my freshman year.

Interests and Hobbies

I love to spend my recreational time involved in a wide variety of outdoor activities. A few of my passions/hobbies include:

· Mountain Biking

· Shooting Sporting Clays

· Hunting

· Snowbording

· Any kind of power sports (ATVs, dirtbikes, etc…)

· Paintballing

· Fishing

· Canoeing

My musical favorites are country and rock. My family is big into pheasant hunting, and we have a good ol’ bird dog named Cooper. He’s a Red Fox Labrador retriever.
