REPRESENTING TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO
He was born in the United States of America and brought up in Washington, DC, and holds citizenship of both Trinidad and Tobago and the United States of America. He competed as part of the US team at the 2018 World Junior Championships in Tampere, Finland, but chose to switch to representing Trinidad and Tobago to honour his family heritage. "I always told myself that was something I wanted to do. Even though I was born in the United States, Trinidad and Tobago has always been a part of my culture growing up. My great-grandmother came over first, she's the reason we're here today. I got to experience having 'USA' on my back as a freshman, and after that I told my family I wanted to make the switch. As I watched the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio, I thought it would be nice to represent the Trinidadian culture that was instilled in me growing up."
