How long have you been playing tennis?
I’ve been playing tennis for roughly 6 years.
What inspired you to start playing tennis?
Watching the pro tennis players play on TV (especially Roger Federer), I was inspired to play the game like him. Also, a good friend of mine, Luke Silverman, was already a great player when I started; I strived to be able to compete with him
Why did you choose to attend St. Lawrence?
I chose St. Lawrence for the tight-knit community both on the tennis team and on campus as a whole. The campus is also so beautiful whether it’s fall, winter, spring, or summer.
What is your favorite team memory?
My favorite team memory has to be our trips to Orlando over spring break. Those are always such great times getting together and bonding ever closer as a team. Either that, or beating Skidmore for the first time in 14 years last week!
What is your favorite class that you have taken at SLU?
I really enjoyed the Time Series Analysis class I took with Dr. Robin Lock.
How has your season been going so far?
The season has been going very well so far; we are currently 2-0 in conference play, putting us at the top of the conference for the first time in a long time.
What are your goals for the rest of the season?
Our goals as a team for the rest of the season is to keep putting ourselves in positions to win. We pride ourselves on being conscious about our process on and off the court which will naturally translate into our performance on court.
Favorite pro athlete?
My favorite pro athlete is Roger Federer, no doubt about it.
