What’s a failure or setback that taught you something valuable?
A setback that taught me something valuable was just not being very good at running for my first two and a half years of high school. During the winter of my junior year I started to make some progress and enjoy running much more. I dropped my mile time by over a minute that season before continuing this success into my senior year. I learned that the best way to be successful at something is to enjoy what you do and consistently do it.

What’s a value or principle you try to live by?
A value I try to live by is consistency. I'm not going to get way better at running, math, or writing in just an hour or a day but by repeatedly doing it over time.

What’s something about you that might surprise people?
I am originally from Milwaukee and am a big fan of all Wisconsin professional sports teams.
