What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

I love the thrill of flying and accomplishing new skills. I love the community I compete in and the opportunity to compete in the international stage.


Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

My parents inspire me. They are hard workers and never settle. I’m also inspired by trampoline Olympian Alexi Shostak for his commitment, longevity and mentorship.


What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

While he has qualified for World Championships in his first eligible year and has won a world youth title and junior worlds bronze, it’s his commitment, effort and desire to be the best that makes us the most proud.
