1) How did you get involved with ice hockey?
My dad got me involved with hockey at a very young age. We played together and watched it on TV a lot.
2) Who is your biggest inspiration?
My biggest inspiration would have to be my dad without a doubt. We have been through so much together it's ridiculous.
3) What would most people be surprised to know about you?
I would say that most people would be surprised when I say I'm going in to the marine corps after high school
4) What is your favorite movie, book or character and why?
My favorite movie is "Saints and Soldiers" because it is a great movie all around and because the story behind it is heart breaking and awe inspiring. My favorite book is "The Outsiders" and that is self explanatory.
5) Name three things you would bring with you if you were on a deserted island.
I would bring a lot of water, a sail boat, and a female companion.
We'll just hope there lots of fruit growing on the island to feed you guys!

Bonus Five
6) Share a favorite moment with your team.
One of my favorite moments I can recollect is when my team won the Batam House Championship.
7) What does being a Highlander mean to you?
Being a Highlander to me means that I'm a part of something important, not just in another school.
8) What do you do with your time when you are not playing ice hockey?
When I'm not playing hockey I like to text and hangout with my friends.
9) Who is your favorite teacher of all time and why?
My favorite teacher of all time would have to be Mr. Beattie. His attitude is great, I learn a lot in his class and he's all around a great person to be around.
10) Share something no one knows about you.
Something no one knows about me is that I've never broken a bone.
