What is your favorite sports movie and why?
Miracle. Despite being a young and inexperienced team, they show how being a family and battling together day in and day out that you can make great things happen.

What are the top three things to do on your bucket list?
To become the best me possible
To leave a legacy in what I do
To better others and be a role model to someone one day

What is your most memorable moment as a Bryn Athyn student-athlete so far?
Scoring goals. Doesn't matter which one they all feel like my first.

What is currently in your Netflix queue?
Kingdom

Do you have any pregame rituals or superstitions?
I have tons: pregame shower, think about the game, jiggle, listen to music, etc.

What do you think your teammates would say about you?
They would probably say that I really want to win and that it could be a good or a bad thing. However, I am always there when they need me.

If you were stranded on an island, who is the teammate that you would want to be stranded with and why?
I would probably say Mikey Haas. We think different and like to compromise. He's a goalie and I'm a goal scorer. We go head to head but our bond is unreal.

If your life could be turned into a movie, who would you want to play you and why? *
Dwayne Johnson. His muscles aren't quite like mine but he will get there one day.

Who are your favorite sports teams?
All Philadelphia teams. Washington Capitals because of Alex Ovechkin. Barcelona because of Messi.

What do you like the most about being a student-athlete at Bryn Athyn and why?
The classes are small so you can make a relationship with the teachers. Also, it is easy to make friends.

What is your dream job and why?
To be a fireman. It is corny, but this way I would get to achieve my lifetime goal and be a hero.

If you could have dinner with three other people (dead or alive), who would they be and why?
Alex Ovechkin, he is my favorite person in the world. Ryan Ovecka, he has been by my side through everything. Kobe Bryant, I would pick his brain to see his drive on and off the court.
