Personal Statement
I am a 6' 1" Defenseman from Rhinelander, Wisconsin. I began playing hockey when I was three and have played pre and post regular season AAA hockey for most all of my youth years during which time I saw a number of titles at state levels with both my youth teams as well as a selected representative on Regional WAHA and Regional Wisconsin Elite Hockey League Teams as a defenseman. In 2016 I switched from a brick and mortar school to Apex Learning online virtual school in order to accommodate the rigors of a junior hockey schedule. I am soon to finish 11th grade and have a 3.51 GPA in very challenging accelerated and grade advanced classes. I am currently playing for the Dells Ducks in the USPHL Elite division. The challenges of living away from my family, taking demanding coursework in an online environment, and the intensity of this level of hockey during the same time, will make me better prepared in the future to play college hockey. I look forward to the possibility of playing college hockey while getting an excellent college education.
