Any interesting facts about you: Both of my parents served in the military (Air Force). Prior to coming to K-State I had never played any sports. In four years, I went from a walk-on who didn’t know how to be an athlete, to a four-year lettermen and Captain.
Your favorite exercise/way to be physically active: Rowing. It’s seriously a total body workout. When you’re on the water, and everything is just right, it feels like you’re flying.
