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)

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)
