Origin of Impairment
Acquired (Athlete, 01 Apr 2016)

He has retinitis pigmentosa. The condition causes loss of peripheral vision, night blindness, and colour blindness. (teamusa.org, 03 Jun 2018)

General
HEIGHT BONUS
He is 196cm tall. "When you dive out, you're in a Superman position where you're fully flexed outward. When you're taller, you have more opportunity to get to that blocking position. If I do mess up, I still end up snagging the ball with my feet or my hands just because I'm so tall. It's an extra bonus." (teamusa.org, 05 Sep 2020)

FURTHER EDUCATION
He has studied healthcare administration at George Mason University in Fairfax, VA, United States of America. (Twitter profile, 12 Mar 2020; sru.edu, 17 Sep 2019)
