I am a 2018 graduate of North Central College, a small D3 school in Naperville, Illinois. I also pursued my masters degree in sports leadership and graduated in early 2020. At NCC I was a 7 time national champion, which is an NCAA Record for the event. I am using this degree and my knowledge base on the event that I love, pole vaulting, as an avenue for growing sport. My brother and I have dedicated ourselves to growing the sport of pole vaulting and introducing hundreds of athletes to the event and the eventual opening of our now self owned pole vaulting gym RISE Pole Vault. This way I can continue to give back to the pole vault community and provide an opportunity for vaulting to be as accessible as any other sport. I manage the business while continuing to pole vault on the world stage. I qualified for the 2022 world championships last year in Oregon. I have a personal best of 5.80m or 19’0.25”. https://northcentralcardinals.com/news/2022/7/25/mens-track-and-fie
