Favorite Sport: "I don't have a favorite sport, but wrestling is probably my least favorite because it's the toughest sport out of the three. Baseball and football are a tie for my favorite."

Best Part of High School Sports: "The community. Without the community coming and supporting at our events, it would be pretty boring. When the crowd goes nuts after a big play or a pin, it gets me hyped up and that's why I love sports so much. I play for the community, family and friends."

Most Memorable Moment in High School Sports: "One of the most memorable moments in my four years so far was when our football team beat the No. 1-ranked Regis team to go to state for the first time in Coleman history in football. We went down 14-0 to start the game and after their last touchdown, we flipped the switch. We scored 22 unanswered points and sealing the game by getting an interception on a Hail Mary pass. We ended up winning 28-22. That was the best football game I've ever been apart of and the support from the community coming to game and filling the stands is something I will never forget."

Which Person Has Served as Positive Role Model in Sports For You: "A person that has been a positive role model for me during my sports career is my dad. My dad was a individual state champion in wrestling and also went to state as a team in baseball and wrestling for Coleman. He had many accomplishments as a three-sport athlete. I always grew up wanting to surpass his accomplishments in every sport. He helped me be the athlete that I am today by bringing me to higher-level practices and teaching me the basics at a young age."

Best Part of Playing Three Sports: "The best part about playing three sports is that I am always active and in-shape and that I always get to hangout with teammates and friends. Being involved in three sports has benefited me with an abundance of friends that are now like brothers." 

Toughest Part of Playing Three Sports: "Playing three sports can put a huge toll on your body. Soreness and injuries stick around all year until summer comes. Playing three sports also means you don't get any free time during the school year. My schedule consists of going to school, practice, dinner, homework, and then sleeping. Repeating that for the whole school year can get tough mentally and physically. I think about all the other fun things I could be doing instead of going to grueling wrestling practices or freezing cold post-season football practices. But to be the best athlete possible you have to do these things and push through."

Favorite Professional Teams: Milwaukee Brewers, Green Bay Packers

Favorite Professional Athlete: Aaron Rodgers

Favorite College Teams: Wisconsin Badgers

Cumulative GPA: 3.3 
 
Most Admired High School Teammate: "My most admired teammate would be Karson Casper. We compete together on the wrestling and baseball teams. We made it to team state three times together in wrestling and once in baseball. He is a two-time Individual state champion and now goes to Augsburg to wrestle. Karson was the teammate that expected nothing but the best out of me. In wrestling, he wouldn't take it easy on me and I'm glad because it made me a way better wrestler."

College Plans: "I plan on attending a four year college to play either football or baseball."

Activities Outside of Sports: "Outside of sports, during the summer I go golfing with friends almost every weekend. But other than that, I hunt and fish a lot on my free time."

Favorite TV show: All American, Outer Banks
 
Favorite Movie: New Batman, Star Wars

Favorite Subject: "My favorite subject in school would be the cooking classes. Being able to cook food and not have to think and do hard math equations or science problems is the best." 

Favorite Restaurant: "Buffalo Wild Wings. Boneless honey barbeque wings every time gets the job done."

Favorite Website: "Hudl. I spend countless hours watching film for football and watching my wrestling matches."

Other Family Members: Adam, father; Amy, mother; West, Wyatt, younger brothers.
