What you love about fencing: The energetic feeling of winning a new touch or leaning a new action. It is also the community and the friends you make through the sport.

Favorite tournament/bout and why: Morris Cup, Cadet Men’s Saber, March 2023 vs. Dalal. I was down for the majority of the bout but made a comeback to 15-14. At the break, my confidence was low. As it went on, I regained it from resetting my mind and making the right actions.

Interests outside of fencing: Golf, video games and traveling

Events at Summer Nationals: Y-14 Men’s Saber, Cadet Men’s Saber, Junior Men’s Saber, Division III Men’s Saber, Division II Men’s Saber and Division IA Men’s Saber.
