I am a level 9 gymnast training at Vitaly Scherbo School of Gymnastics.

My short-term goal is to promote to Level 9 and qualify to compete at the 2016 JO Olympic Nationals as a sophomore. My long-term goal is to have the opportunity to compete on a college team.

2015 Region 1 Men's Gymnastics Championships Level 8 Jr. : 3rd A.A., 3rd Rings, 3rd Pommel Horse, 4th Vault, 4th Floor, 8th High Bar.
2015 Vitali Scherbo Invitational Level 8 Jr. : 1st A.A., 1st High Bar, 1st Rings.
2015 Nevada State Level 8 Jr. Vault Champion and All Star Team Qualifier.
2015 Black Jack Invitational Level 8 Jr.: 1st Rings, 2nd Vault, 4th A.A.
2015 San Diego Team Cup Level 8 Jr.: 1st Rings, 1st Floor, 3rd P-Bars.
2015 West Coast Team Challenge Level 8 Jr.: 1st Floor, 1st Vault, 2nd Pommel, 3rd Rings, 2nd p-bars, 2nd A.A.

On high bar I am training skills to complete a layout Jaegar. On floor I am training a round-off, back-handspring double tuck and a running double front.
On rings I am training a half in half out, on pommel horse I am training a Magyar, and on vault I am training a tsukahara full.

I enjoy playing ping pong with my family members. We are all very competitive and one of my dads is a former competitive gymnast so we have a friendly competitive rivalry between each other.

I am a volunteer of the F.E.A.T. program at Gymcats which instructs children diagnosed with Autism to learn social skills, build relationships, and improve gross motor skills thru the sport of gymnastics. I also enjoy dancing and recently performed in the Tango number at the DanceCats recital.
My father competed as a competitive gymnast and my brother and I used his old high bar and ring grips when we first started training as Level 4 gymnasts.
