01. About Me

Growing up with two brothers, life has always be competitive. This competitiveness has helped push me to become the best I can in school, athletics, and life.

Through balancing being a student-athlete and mechanical engineering and graduate studies, I have learned numerous different skills and the importance of hard-work, dedication, and discipline. Its taught me to have good time-management in order to balance workouts, studying, and recovery, to maximize my performance in school and on the track. Through numerous injuries and setbacks, I have learned the importance of being resilient and being able to comeback from whatever setbacks life gives you.

Outside of the classroom and running, I enjoy golfing, biking, playing the piano, and watching sports.
