“Throughout high school, one of my key influences has been my dad. From a young age, he had it seared into my brain that hard work was the only way you'd get anywhere in life. Inside and outside of school, worst or best performance, the only thing that mattered to him in the end was whether or not I worked hard enough and gave it my all. That's all my dad ever asked of me, so that's what I gave.”
