I started rowing in October of 2023. I am a former wrestler who was forced to pivot to rowing due to injuries. I am healthy now and have fully committed to the sport of rowing. I believe my background of wrestling has given a tenacity and grit that is very uncommon among even elite athletes. Im incredibly lucky to have found the sport of rowing after being dealt a bad hand in prior sports. Within my first 4 months of training, I pulled a 6:16.7 2k. I have a 4.3 GPA and scored a 1390 on my first SAT.
