Since you’re originally from South Dakota and then Arizona, what do you love about living in the Lonestar State? I feel Texas is the perfect combination between the two places that I have grown up in. Arizona and Texas sort of have the same type of weather, but in Texas I have been able to make friends and form relationships with people I’ll never forget. The people of Texas is what makes it great!
When you’re not at basketball practice, what are you normally doing? Well as of a couple months ago my girlfriend and I rescued a puppy named Ellie! So when I’m not at school or practice, I spend the majority of time playing with her.
What do you see yourself doing after graduation? Well after I graduate with my bachelors degree in May I hope to continue to get a Masters here at UTSA.
