AT WHAT AGE DID YOU START PLAYING FOOTBALL?
definitely my main sport. Once it came time to make a decision after high school, it just seemed like this was the better option.
I started playing my sophomore year of high school. We had an older kid on our soccer team that kicked for the football team and I thought I'd just give it a try. It ended up working out.
WAS THERE EVER ANY CONSIDERATION OF DOING SOMETHING OTHER THAN COMING TO NDSU TO KICK? BE IT PLAYING SOCCER OR WHAT HAVE YOU?
WHEN DID YOU START TAKING IT SERIOUSLY AS A PATH FORWARD IN ATHLETICS? I would say I always took it seriously, but soccer was
Yeah, I had a couple opportunities to play soccer at some Division II schools in Colorado and stuff like that, but this allowed me the chance to stay close to home and my support group which is really important to me.
WHAT ARE THE ADDED BENEFITS TO STAYING IN YOUR HOMETOWN AS A STUDENT-ATHLETE? I think just being close to family and the rest of that support group.
