My Personal Side

I began training for a triathlon in January of 2026, and completed it on May 17.

This is my dog named Cooper. He is nine years old and I named him when we got him!

Since I mentioned I enjoy hanging out with friends, I figured I’d add them in!

I have played basketball my whole life and here is a picture of my senior year.

While I hardly ever do it, I love to fish and this was a pike that I caught in Minnesota a few years ago

Even though I was born in Kansas, I love Minnesota. I am a fan of all their sports teams, and my family has gone to the Minnesota State Fair for the past couple of years. They have some delicious cheese curds!

 

 

“I have been a lifelong learner and mover. My mom used to tell me that even in her womb I never sat still. In my youth, this manifested itself in wanting to join every sports team and be the best on that team, and my proficiency in school (particularly math) accompanied this drive. In present day, this looks more like diving into the wisdom of Catholic Theology, training for an Ironman Triathlon one day, and still wanting to be on every intramural team. My natural tendencies from my youth are helping to shape my knowledge and goals in the present day, and I look to continue grow and foster them into this next chapter in my life.”
