Most memorable moment as a UW-Eau Claire athlete: Beating my former doubles partner down in Luther (Iowa); he was my high school doubles partner. We played No. 1 doubles together and my sophomore year we beat them 9-8 in a tiebreaker.

Biggest rival in your sport and why: Luther. We played them each of the last couple years. We've never beat them, but we kind of recruit the same players. A lot of Minnesota guys go to Eau Claire and go down to Luther, so we know a lot of guys on their team. Another rival might be UW-La Crosse because they have the same talent level and we've beaten them the last couple years.

Favorite WIAC school to travel to: La Crosse because we've been so successful there.

If you could play another sport at the university, what would it be: Hockey or golf. I grew up playing hockey from first to 10th grade, so hockey's kind of in my blood. And golf is just my passion right now in the off-season … but I'm probably not good enough to play on the team.

Role tennis played in your decision to come to Eau Claire: It was a big role. I knew I wanted to play college tennis. That along with a beautiful campus here, a good school and being able to play tennis is a good combination.

Favorite bar in Eau Claire: Brother's or Dooley's.
