General
RUGBY AND CHEERLEADING
He played rugby union [15-a-side] at high school, but gave up the sport when he entered Trine University in the United States of America as the university did not have a rugby club. He began competing in cheerleading during his time at the university. "I liked it [cheerleading]. My favourite part was co-ed stunting. It was hard and it took a lot of practice to hit certain stunts, but it was a lot of fun. I played in some [rugby] tournaments throughout my summers, but it was definitely hard. I missed the sport. I also was pretty busy with my major [civil engineering] and a couple extracurriculars I picked up, so I did not think about rugby." After graduating from university, he returned to rugby union [15-a-side] at Columbus Rugby Club in Columbus, IN, United States of America.

EDUCATION
He has also studied for a master's degree in civil engineering at Ohio University in the United States of America. (teamusa.org, 01 Jul 2021)
