More About Me

High School

I graduated from Wapakoneta High School in the Spring of 2019. I had the time of my life here and really set myself up well for college. I loved loved loved the relationships I had with faculty as I could just be me and have such a wonderful time. Senior year was absolutely incredible as I had an all star cast supporting me in the form of students, teachers and administration. I really could not have asked for a better year. I got to do so many things and have so many great opportunities that it's too hard to keep track.


Background

I was huge into clubs and sports in high school. I wanted to do as much as I could, and some might say I was too involved as my time was spread thin, but I made it to nearly every event we had. I played tennis, ran cross country, and was on the academic team. I won the league championship at third singles in tennis my senior year. I was second-team all league my senior year in cross country. Academic team won the championship my freshman year, and I was MVP both my junior and senior years. Overall, I had 11 seasons of varsity action (freshman tennis I was JV).

Senior year was stellar. It seemed like all the good things you dream about happening happened to me over those nine short months. We cancelled ten days of school (snow, fog, flooding). I went on 20 different field trips which I'm sure is a record that will never be broken. When you stack up the club activities, field trips for honors classes, and sports postseason tournaments, you start to comprise a quality school year. I averaged about four days of school per week. Had the district tennis tournament not been rescheduled, I would've missed my entire last week of school. I was nominated by my principal to be the rising scholar from our high school for the newspaper. I was awarded the Franklin B. Walter Award for my exemplary character and academics. My team won review basketball in our anatomy class several times in a heated rivalry of window side vs wall side. What more could I have asked for?


Daily Tennis

If you ask just about anyone from high school what they remembered most about me, they would say Daily Tennis. What started as a simple way to keep my friends and me accountable to play tennis everyday turned into an international phenomenon.

It started on a summer night in June before junior year when our high school installed stadium lights around the courts. Over time, it evolved into an all out production. On my Snapchat, we would post ridiculous videos of us doing something tennis related, and we'd get hundreds of views and loads of people saying that they loved the content. We gained so much traction that teachers started requesting to be on it, then our principal, then the principals at the next school over, then our superintendent, and arguably our biggest celebrity: our city mayor. I amassed so many followers in a short period of time, and not just from Wapak, but around the world. I have followers from every continent now (except Antarctica). We had our own merchandise (two different shirts which sold nearly 100 units) and a whole page in the yearbook. The show ended the summer before my senior year, so we ran for about a year logging about 200 clips. It was certainly an incredible time. It was so incredible that when applying for college, my admissions representative actually wrote back regarding Daily Tennis as it had caught his attention.
