\nWhat it means to represent the United States:<\/strong> I feel like representing my country is the ultimate prize for the hard work and years of dedication to the sport. It’s the pinnacle of our sport and I am never more proud than when I put on the USA jersey.<\/p>\n

Who are your role models in the game:<\/strong> I’ve learned a lot from a lot of people. My dad being one but a lot of guys from his old team, The Tarkenton Brothers back in Brooklyn, WI helped me learn the game. As I got older, guys like Jon Zipperer, Stacy McLean and Craig Watermolen were big influences, and now I follow the very cerebral teachings and almost zen-like path of Jason Porto.<\/span><\/p>\n

Three favorite foods:<\/strong> Bacon, Carne Asada, Quesadillas (Vegan Diet)<\/p>\n
