What sparked your interest in the Ralphie program?
I went to my first CU football game when I was in 1st grade and when I saw Ralphie run I knew immediately that I wanted to be apart of the program.
What's the hardest part of being a Ralphie Handler?
The hardest part of being a Ralphie Handler is learning all the different maneuvers that actually go into running Ralphie.
What's the best part of being a Ralphie Handler?
The best part of being a Ralphie handler is being on a team with other people that are all working together to achieve one goal. I think the team dynamic we have is something that is really special.
What's one thing that surprises people the most when they ask you about being a Ralphie Handler?
What surprises most people when they ask me about being a Ralphie Handler is all the training and practices the Handlers go through to run Ralphie. It takes a lot of hard training to be in shape to run with Ralphie.
What are your hobbies?
I love to be active. I played baseball in High School and was on the CU Club Baseball team before being selected to the Ralphie Handler Program.
What are three things that make you unique?
Member of the Leeds Scholars Program & Leeds Honors Program, Helped raise over $250,000 for epilepsy (Dravet Syndrome), and was invited by a Philadelphia Phillies Scout to attend an Area Code Tryout
