MY STORY

1. WHERE I STARTED

"Started playing at 5 on a frozen outdoor rink in Minnesota. That's where my love for the game — and my drive — began."

2. CHALLENGES I'VE FACED

"Coming from a small-town program, I've had fewer resources and less exposure — but it's made me work harder, stay hungry, and find ways to stand out. I've learned to create my own opportunities and earn everything through effort and resilience."

3. WHAT DRIVES ME

"I'm driven to reach my full potential and prove wrong anyone who's ever doubted me. I thrive on being underestimated. I show up every day ready to outwork the next guy — focused, coachable, and committed to long-term development. I don't chase shortcuts; I put in the work to earn every opportunity."

4. WHERE I'M HEADED

"Increase strength, speed, and flexibility. Improve key technical areas of my game. Be a leader on and off the ice. Get exposure to Junior and NCAA programs."

4. GOOD TO KNOW

"I'm a technically sound and athletic goalie who prides myself on being consistent, calm under pressure, and a student of the game. I'm very coachable, open to feedback, and always looking to improve — whether that's through extra reps, video work, or studying other goalies."
