Athletics

Sports have become an essential part of my life; I attribute my finest characteristics I’ve learned through sports I am a fierce competitor, enjoy the strategic components involved, and relish the opportunity to rally my team.  

On my school volleyball team, I am a 4 year starting varsity player, playing the Outside Hitter position.  I am the team captain and named the team MVP and Offensive player of the year.   

I have played on club volleyball teams for 5 years.  I recently led my team to 3rd place in the Boys Junior National Volleyball Tournament for the Club Division.  Additionally, I was honored with a position on the All Tournament Team at the Boys’ Junior National Volleyball Tournament 2021.

In summers past, I have been selected to play on the USA Volleyball High Performance A2 team in South Carolina.  Additionally, I participated in UCLA and Loyola Chicago selective volleyball summer program as well as various NCSA events.

My volleyball career has taught me the unparalleled values of teamwork, athleticism, and pride.

Latin School Training Club (Founder)

While I have always been interested in fitness and weight training, I realized in my sport there was very little formal strength training.  I knew my own training program had positively impacted my sports performance and wanted to inspire others to optimize their athletic performance through training and nutrition.  I founded the Strength Training Club and to my surprise, we hit the ground running with 67 members!  I host regular meetings to discuss training topics followed by a formal session with a personal trainer.  I invite various guest speakers and organize panel sessions with industry professionals to speak to the group.

I’ve included a picture from when I met Professional Bodybuilder, Simeon Panda, at Gold’s Gym on Venice Beach in Los Angles, CA.
