About

I'm a twin with 2 younger sisters and a younger brother. I grew up on a dairy farm in the middle of Indiana. I love everything about sports. I played volleyball and basketball all 4 years of high school and I ran track for 3 years. I was a member of the FFA at my high school for all 4 years were I earned many trips all over the US and even a trip to Europe. Need to know more? Just get ahold of me. :)
