What makes Beach Volleyball your favourite sport?

I love the freedom of the sport, you get to play outside, choose your partners, and travel the world. I also like that to play beach volleyball you must have all the skills, you cannot be too specialized

On court I'm known for…

My serve receive stance with my hands stretched out to each side, it's different and many people ask me why I do it

My favourite beach is…

My home beach where we train all preseason: Corona del Mar state beach in California, a close second is Phuket, Thailand

My team mate calls me…

Ape, and many people think I might get offended if they shorten my name to that, but I don't, it's what my family affectionately called me growing up

I am a FIVB Hero because…

I started in the country quota with zero points and since then have been lucky enough to win World Champs. I also appreciate every day I'm able to play this great sport on the FIVB World Tour
