Outstanding Student
VITAL STATS How do you feel about college? Nervous to be
leaving and living on my own but excited to start rowing at a collegiate level.
Received rowing scholarship from Jacksonville University.
First senior from Lake County Rowing Association to receive rowing scholarship.
Maintained 3.8 or higher GPA throughout high school.
Played on LMHS basketball team as freshman.
One thing about high school you won’t miss?
I won’t miss the strict dress code.
How did you start rowing? At sophomore
orientation, Lake County Rowing had a booth set up to recruit high school students to row. My mom saw it, and the coach at the time said I would be great at it because I was tall. I ended up joining.
Favorite part of rowing? My favorite thing is
how unique the sport is and how competitive it can get between you and your teammates. There is a constant competition between rowers to be able to race in the top, fastest boat. Training regimen? Training and practice for rowing is intense. I’ve played many sports in my life, but I don’t think any other sport can compare to rowing. Practice was three hours a day, fi ve days a week. In the fall, it is slower 5k races (5,000 meters); in the spring, more intense 2k races. The quantity and quality of work we do increases, and we must train ourselves to maintain high pressure throughout the 2,000-meter race. It isn’t fun, but when you see the outcome of all the work you put in, it makes everything worthwhile.
Who’s your biggest infl uence? The fi rst
person that comes to mind is my coach, Justin Knust. If he hadn’t started coaching at LCRA, I wouldn’t be in the position that I’m in today. My 2k would not have reached below 7:35 (7 minutes, 33 seconds on the erg rowing machine), and I would not have known how fast I could really be or what I was truly capable of.
Favorite rowing movie? “The Boys of ’36.”
Favorite food? Spaghetti (or any Italian food).
Favorite music? I like to listen to almost anything; pop, country, alternative, ’80s and ’90s rock, indie, and some rap and R&B.
Pet peeve? When driving, people who don’t turn right on red when it is clear to go. Another is when people are glued to their phones and excessively use them instead of having a conversation with you.
Future plans? Jacksonville University has a few majors that I’m interested in: marine science, kinesiology, or photography.

We proactively serve a select group of families with the distribution phase of their retirement by offering rigorous, relentless discipline seeking to bring a higher level of predictability.
How does your group achieve that?
With fi nancial planning tools and discretionary portfolio management, we build plans based on our client’s risk tolerance. As portfolio managers, we manage our clients’ portfolios on a daily basis and guide their objectives, which range from developing a health care strategy to attending to estate planning needs.
How do you help your clients achieve their objectives?
Focusing our attention on our clients’ fi nancial details means working toward their goal of living the lifestyle they have always envisioned. Having the resources in place to enjoy the next stage of their lives is important in achieving those goals. Perhaps they want to master a new language or travel to see family.

What makes your group passionate about what you do?
