Learned to ski

I was in the outdoors ever since I can remember and growing up in nature has had a huge impact on me. It's been a tool in my life that I use to distress and get a break from technology.

I started school at a small private christian school which is where I learned the majority of my values that hold an influence on who I am.

Switched to public school

Going into 8th grade I switched from my tiny private school to the public middle school. This was a huge step for me in my maturity and I was given the power to make my own decisions.

I was lucky enough to have a great friend group of like minded people. "Show me your friends and I'll show you your future."

Started playing hockey

Hockey was the first sport that made me fall in love with athletics. It inspired me to try as many sports as possible and because of it, I've made life long relationships and have had so many role models guide me.

I went to a christian summer camp in Missouri. I made some really great friends and most importantly built my faith.

Met T Smith

T's my life long best friend, but also the first southern friend I had. Growing close to him and his family taught me a lot about southern culture and sparked my interest in going South for college.
