What is your favorite lacrosse memory?
When I told my brother I wanted to play lacrosse, he got me all suited up and took me down to the park and did ground ball drills with me for an hour. He said that I would need to be tough to be good. Needless to say, I ended up on my butt every single time.
What is your favorite sport besides lacrosse?
Basketball
What do you like to do in your free time?
Throw the frisbee, play the guitar and hang out with friends and family
Why did you choose Utah? What is the best thing about Utah?
The Business School is great, the location is beautiful, and our lacrosse program is the best in the country.
My favorite thing about Salt Lake City is:
Getting to watch the sun rise while playing lacrosse with my brothers everyday.
What are your goals for this year?
To start in the goal and get a 4.0 in the classroom.
What are your pregame superstitions?
If my cleats are not tied just right, I will feel off until I get a chance to fix them. I am probably the slowest to suit up simply because I spend five minutes tying my shoes.

My major is Quantitative Analysis of Markets and Organizations (QAMO), and after I graduate, I hope to help business owners and entrepreneurs run their businesses more efficiently.
Where do you most hope to travel/visit?
I hope to do a tour through Europe and the Middle East to see all of the different cultures there, and try to understand how they have shaped history.
If you could invite three people, dead or alive, to a dinner party, who would they be?
My dad, brother, and Coach Holman.
What is the best piece of advice you have ever received?
The best advice I have ever received is to care not about what has already happened or what is yet to come, but to care about what I can control in the precious present.
