He looks to complete his masters while riding and racing in Europe. He shares his learnings as a student athlete and how to successfully pursue sports while studying full time. I had the good fortune of helping him in his formative years starting from 2016 and helped him get to his first medal at the Nationals. It is great to see this young man going places. It was great to sit down and chat just days before he is about to fly off to Europe.
