‍

- When did you start playing basketball? I first started playing basketball recreationally in kindergarten.

‍

- Who is your favorite basketball player of all time? Kobe Bryant

‍

- What is your favorite basketball memory? The game against Interlake during my sophomore year. I remember that both Hudson Hansen and Tom Nash fouled out, and so coach put me in the game during the 4th quarter. I was able to score some points and went off, and we ended up winning the game.

‍

- What is your go-to gas station snack at 3 in the morning? Skittles

‍

- What is your favorite video game? Elden Ring is my favorite video game, but I also like to play Snake on Google.

‍

- Are you more of a late-nighter or an early-bird? I’m more of a late-nighter because I have a hard time waking up early in the morning, and I’m used to going to bed late every night.

‍

- Which Bellevue High School alumni did you look up to as a freshman/sophomore before you were a varsity starter? Hudson Hansen was my role model because he was very effective as a big man and really led our team back then.

‍

- Outside of basketball, what sport would you want to be really good at and play competitively in?  I would love to play football because it is easier to go play Division-I college football than college basketball.

- If you had to delete all but 3 apps from your phone, which apps would you keep? Instagram, StudentVue, and YouTube Music

‍

- If you had one superpower, what would it be and why? I would love to have the ability to change luck and fortune around me because although it is good to be skillful at things, it can be even better to be lucky in some situations.

‍

- Would you rather go to the past to meet your ancestors or go to the future to meet your descendants? I would rather go to the past because I want to know what life was like before I was born.

‍

- Do you have any hidden talents or skills? I am a really good whistler.

‍

- If you had to eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? I would eat a roast beef sandwich because it provides sustenance while it has everything from

the 5 food groups.
