    How did you get involved? Glenn recruited my brother when he was a High School football player. I was interested in Olympic sports, so I joined in.

    Favorite Competition Lift? Even though the Clean and Jerk sucks, it is more rewarding to go out and nail a PR C&J attempt in competition than it is to get a PR Snatch in competition. 

    Favorite Training Lift? Snatch

    Education: Currently in college

    Personal Goals: Compete at the Olympic Games and have a successful, post-Weightlifting career.

    Favorite Food: Ribeye, Ice Cream, and Meatza (if you don't know what that is, you better look it up and then thank me).

    Favorite Book: Atlas Shrugged and To Kill a Mockingbird

    Favorite TV Show: Dexter and Breaking Bad

    Favorite song that gets you motivated: I typically only listen to music when I compete to keep me distracted from everyone around and focused on lifting. I usually just put my iPod on shuffle and stop at the songs with upbeat rhythms.

    Hobbies/Interested outside of Weightlifting: Cooking and Road trips

    Most people don’t know that… I have driven coast to coast
