More About Me


Hometown

I was born and raised in Rochester NY, where I attended McQuaid Jesuit High School. When I wasn't busy with schoolwork, you could find me playing volleyball at Hotshots, training at PCX, or serving ice cream at Lickety Splits.

Interests

Beyond volleyball and data, I love teaching, playing basketball and spikeball, and competing in eating challenges. I'm also a licensed bartender, in case this whole "machine learning" thing doesn't work out.
