Sports have long been a driving factor in my life. From youth baseball in California to cross country in South Korea, competition has taken on many different forms and taken place in many different locations in my life. With that, it is very clear to me that no sport has had such a profound impact on the trajectory of my life as rugby has.

Rugby is the reason why I attended Colorado State University, rugby is the reason I met my partner, rugby is the reason why I have my current career with the American Raptors, and rugby has decided to give me one more incredible opportunity.

I am beyond humbled and grateful to announce I have been selected to represent the United States Mixed Open Touch Rugby team at the 2024 Touch Rugby World Cup in Nottingham, England.

Due to the amateur nature of this sport, the financial burden of pursuing your selection and playing in a Touch World Cup is placed entirely on the players. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I will make happen by any means necessary, but I also recognize I will need help to do so. Any contributions to this GoFundMe campaign go directly to me in support of the fees surrounding my accommodation, travel, tournament costs, and meals for the World Cup.

To my partner Jenna, my family, and all my coaches and teammates over the years, getting this opportunity would never have been possible without your momentous support along the way. Thank you for all your continued support as I pursue the biggest honor of my life.
