Tell us a little bit about yourself.
I have a great family that supports me in whatever I do. My family consists of three brothers and one sister. I attend Twin Falls High School with my older brother Jared who is a senior. I moved to Twin Falls from Filer when I was going into the seventh grade. I have played basketball and volleyball since the fifth grade, I also ran track in seventh and eighth grade. This year I look forward to being a three-sport athlete. As a freshman I made varsity for volleyball and basketball. My step-mother has been in my life since I was five years old and has coached me off and on since the fifth grade. I used to hunt with my dad Michael Jordan until I discovered I liked being in the gym better. I look up to my mom and as a little kid I wanted to be just like her, which would have been a hair-stylist, until I started playing ball. My other hobbies include texting (which drives my parents nuts), going boating and hanging out with friends.
