About me

  • Born and raised in McLean, Virginia. Highlanders forever.

  • Arrived at BYU in the fall of 2018 and graduated in 2024 with a degree in Journalism and Sports Media.

  • Served a mission from 2019-21 in both Buenos Aires, Argentina and Sandy, Utah. Thank you COVID!

  • Met Savannah at a BYU football game on September 10, 2022 and married her on August 17, 2023. Best day ever. Best wife ever.

  • Diehard fan of the Baltimore Orioles, Washington Commanders and Washington Capitals. Can’t wait to see Jayden Daniels win the Super Bowl this year.

  • Former obsessed fan of the Utah Jazz currently annoyed by the state of the franchise. Still a fan, just annoyed. Hopefully my passion will return someday.

  • Lover of rock music from the 80s/90s and going to as many concerts as possible.

  • Aspiring stand-up comedian. I’m trying!

  • Beat cancer in the summer of 2022. So grateful to be alive.

  • Follower of Jesus Christ and proud Latter-day Saint.
