Why Texas?
"For me, Texas stood out for its exceptional team culture, which translates to exceptional speed on the water!"
What led you to pursue rowing and what do you love most about it?
"The learn-to-row camp near my house was the only in-person activity just after COVID lockdowns, so my brother and I had nothing better to do! I was first drawn in by the incredible people that the sport attracts, but quickly fell in love with the structure and consistency that rowing demands. I love making boats go fast!"
