What is your favorite judo memory?
I have several amazing judo memories but if I have to choose it would be experiencing the 2016 Rio Olympics as a training partner. Seeing my teammates compete and win in Rio is something that inspires me to this day.

Who is your role model and why?
My role model is Rich Moss; he’s super hard working, smart, and a just an upfront kind of guy. He’s a man’s man and someone I aspire to be like.

What is the impact judo has had on your life?
Judo has impacted me since I started it at the age of 4 and has taught me a lot of life’s lessons. It has impacted positively and negatively, but has always been my greatest teacher.
