Why did you choose UW-River Falls?
I chose UW River Falls because of the well-respected hockey organization and amazing athletic facilities. Our campus here also stood out to me and seemed like the right fit.
 
What causes do you care about?
One main cause that I care about it helping those with mental health instabilities.

What do you like most about competing in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and being a NCAA Division III student-athlete?
I love the competitiveness of the WIAC and the hard-nose style of hockey within it. With the WIAC being one of the best conferences in the country, it forces you to be your best every day. The best part of being a student-athlete is the immediate addition of 30 friends and brothers with the team you spend every day with. It also helps build time-management skills balancing academics and athletics.
