Top Bowling Match: 
My most memorable individual match was a match last year against Beech High School, bowling against Alex Ezell, where we went head to head with matched scores until the tenth frame. It was probably the closest and most fun match I've ever had. As a team, the recent match against Beech saw my team pulling ahead after being down six points the first game. While not the greatest upset, we pulled together as a team and never gave up, and it was satisfying to feel team synergy like that.


How Has Bowling Helped You As A Person:
​
I can honestly say that bowling is the only sport I've taken part in that I've actually grown to love and be excited for. It also helps me be active regularly, especially with my schedule regarding school, and has helped me make a number of lasting friends both inside the high school season and out.
 
What are your goals for TSSAA team and individual this year:
While it may be far reaching, I'm attempting to get within the top five bowlers state-wide, and with my team, hopefully we can qualify for states.
 
What are your goals for Junior Gold this year:
My specific goal for Junior Gold is to finish in the top 100 nationwide and hopefully further, since I didn't make double digits in Indianapolis.

How did you discover/develop your interest in game design:
​
I've been pretty involved with and interested in video games my entire life, and as I've progressed through school, I've noticed that I don't really specialize in any particular subject or field. Game design seems like an interesting, and most importantly fun, way to utilize all of my skills through a profession that is both technical yet has a creative basis.
