Describe your men's volleyball background.
"Volleyball has been my life for 16 years now. At a young age, I realized I had a passion for volleyball, so I continued to play it. At age 14, I had my first big success and won two gold medals at the United World Games for youth (under 15 and under 17). After that, I continued playing at a high level in Europe. Then a few years ago, I found out that I had an opportunity to come here and finish my schooling while doing something I love. In my first season, I was named All-Conference and I want to continue playing at a high level."

Why did you choose Davenport?
"I chose Davenport University because of a good relationship with their athletes. It is a great program and I can see myself improving within it. Coach Magnuson gave me an opportunity and I will give it my best to bring my team and myself to a whole new level this upcoming season. Come and support us!"
