Favorite NHL Player: Auston Matthews. “I love watching Austin Matthews play and how effortless he makes the game look. I also appreciate how he can go score a bunch of goals and contribute a bunch offensively, but at the same time be the best defensive forward on the ice.”

You can always find me at the course trying to get better.

Favorite Thing About Golden: “I love how tight the community is. Everyone always gets along, and I love being in the community meeting new people. I love how there is always something to do outdoors in golden, and you always have a beautiful view of the mountains.”

Favourite Animal: “I think Pandas are really cool. Also love my billets dogs Cova and Cleo!”
