Throughout club and high school I played many positions, including setter, outside hitter and, of course, libero, where I ultimately found my niche. As I continued to play for my high school team, at Legacy and for Team USA, colleges began taking notice and by fall of my sophomore year I was offered a DI scholarship. Although it seemed far off, after contemplating my choices, by that spring I decided that Long Beach State would become my college home. I was excited to follow my brother, Trevor, who played there, and also be close to Tanner, who played at Vanguard University. We are one big volleyball family and staying in So Cal would allow us all to remain close and support each other in the sport. With two more years of high school to go and my college decision already made, I turned my focus toward training harder and at a higher level. Making the Youth National Team each year forward, so that I could travel internationally with USA on my chest, became the goal. My goals were accomplished, each year I was selected. I am now proud to say that I have represented my country, as part of the Team USA pipeline, for 13 consecutive years, now being a member of the Senior National Team.

As my college career came to an end, I have segwayed into living the reality of another goal and dream I have had for a while. I am playing professionally overseas in the first division in France, as well as maintaining my position on the USA Men’s National Team.  I am also busy putting my business degree to work by creating several new businesses. I’ve always been an entrepreneur at heart, starting my first business when I was only four years old, then a second and third in my teens. This new website will allow me to share with you both my volleyball related businesses, as well as those non-related to volleyball, like the app, Friendzy, that I am building. As my social media presence has grown, I have found new interests in modeling, videography and marketing, and have surprised myself by learning to enjoy being interviewed and even partake in public speaking (sometimes). Check out the links to some of my recent podcasts, radio and tv interviews.

I hope you have enjoyed learning a little more about me and I look forward to meeting more of you at my upcoming matches and clinics!
