Person I most admire: “I most admire my brothers, Bennett and Cooper. They always challenge me in sports, school and life. Bennett is a year older than me, and aside from being a great athlete, he has always set the bar high academically. Cooper is extremely talented at every sport that he tries, and will never turn away from the opportunity to lose to me in a basement game of basketball.”
Family members: parents Kit and Kristine, brothers Bennett and Cooper.
