Hobby/Interest?

I love to play golf and pickup basketball.

What you are looking forward to in 1L year?

I am looking forward to meeting my classmates, professors, and staff at W&L. I'm enthusiastic about starting classes and diving into the study of law. My fiancée and I are adopting our first pet (a cat), which I'm especially excited about.

Why W&L Law?

W&L stood out to me for several reasons. I visited W&L twice and was incredibly impressed by the admissions team, students, and faculty. Everything I read about W&L was confirmed during my visits. It truly is a close-knit community that wants you to succeed. I've felt so much support already and am thankful for the opportunity to attend such a special place.

What is the most adventurous thing you have done?

I've skied, fly-fished, hiked, camped, and wake surfed, all in my beautiful home state of Montana.

Something you hope to continue to pursue in law school that brings you joy?

I plan to stay active by playing sports and exploring the Shenandoah Valley.

Something unique about you?

I am the first person in my family to go to law school. I became interested in the legal field after participating in a criminal mock trial during undergrad.
