What is a phrase or a piece of advice that you try to live your life by? 
"If you do not believe in yourself, why should other believe in you" - Steven Hubble 

What attracted you to UH Hilo?  
What attracted me to Hilo was definitely the amazing environment and set up of the University at Hawaii Hilo. I think that Hilo is such a unique place and somewhere you are able to enjoy not just the school but also the athletics and definitely the beaches. 

Tell us a little bit about your hometown and where you grew up. What did you like to do when you were young?
I'm from Cambridge, New Zealand. When I was young I would always have different sports throughout the week, but on weekends I would hang out with friends and go do something with my family. Our favorite family activity was to head to Rotorua and go mountain biking in a world class mountain bike park.

Who is one person you look up to and why? 
I think I would have to say both my Mum and Dad are people I look up to. I have seen them work very hard to provide better opportunities for not just themselves but the people around them. 

Until your team can practice together, what kind of workouts have you been doing to stay in shape?
Luckily I've been able to use the great facilities at the student life centre, allowing me to keep in shape and get stronger. I have also been able to run around our neighborhood in Hilo. 

Who is your favorite professional athlete and why?
My favorite professional athlete would have to be Tiger Woods. The guy is literally the Goat of any sport. What he has been able to achieve in his career is amazing. He is a winner and fearless competitor.

What is your favorite thing to do on the Big Island?
My favorite thing to do on the Big Island would have to be going to Hapuna Beach on the Kona side. The beaches there are some of the best in the world. 

What is your dream job?
I would say my dream job would be luxury real estate. I think that would be a pretty awesome job.  

What attracted you to your major and what do you love most about your major? 
I think I was attracted to Kinesiology as that's something that I have always been interested in throughout school. What I love most about my major is there are so many different things to learn in every class. The human body has a lot of moving parts so it's awesome to learn about the way in which the human body functions and the reason why it does so. 

What are you grateful for?
I'm most grateful for my family and friends. I wouldn't be where I am today without them. They have always stuck by my side and supported everything I do. 

What hobbies outside of your sport do you have? What are some of your favorite things to do?
Going to the beach with my girlfriend.

What is your favorite movie and why? 
I would have to say Star Wars - revenge of the Sith is my favorite movie of all time. I would say it is an absolute classic and a movie I grew up with and still watch to this day. 

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
If I could travel anywhere in the world I would most likely say Europe. I think it would be awesome to see the sites and experience what the culture is like in places such as France, Italy and Spain.  

What is your favorite part about being a student-athlete? 
I'd say the best part of being a student-athlete is being able to experience both sides of the college. Being able to travel on the road and make memories with your teammates but also making sure that you are constantly working towards the end goal of a degree is tough but a challenge I enjoy. 

What are some of your favorite places to eat in Hilo? What type of food do you enjoy?
Some of my favorite places to eat in Hilo would have to be Verna's Drive-In, Eastwind and Pineapples.  

What do you miss about your hometown or country while you are at UH Hilo?
I obviously miss my family and my friends from home, especially my dog Ben.  I will be honest, I do miss the unique food in New Zealand. Especially mince and cheese pies. Something we have to get in Hilo one day, people are missing out.
