Biography

High School Highlights: Did not row in high school ... Four-year letterwinner and four-year starter on the wrestling team ... Placed fourth as a junior at state championships ... Received all-state honors ... Served as captain senior year.

Why I chose Penn: Wharton's concentration options, Penn's entrepreneurial programs and extracurricular activities, and the student body made up of people who are not only intelligent but also interesting, creative, and down-to-earth.

What I love about rowing: The full-body engagement of the sport, the combination of force and finesse, and the camaraderie the sport breads.

Favorite athlete: Joseph Rantz
