What do you want to do for a career? I want to be an orthodontist when I’m done here. I’ve always wanted to do that since I was a kid.

What do you do in your free time? Either hanging with my wife or playing FIFA with the boys. We do random teams, but I like playing with France.

What is something unique about you? I can do a Rubiks cube. It’s been a long time actually since I’ve done it.

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go? I’ve always wanted to go to a FIFA World Cup game. Wherever that is I think it’d be a cool experience.

What is your favorite sports besides basketball? Soccer. I would play striker.

What was your first BYU sporting event? I’ve been coming to a lot since I was a kid. It was probably a basketball game. Basketball or football.

What is your pre-game ritual? I like to take a nap before. Not really anything in particular.

Who is your role model? I’d have to say my dad. I’ve looked up to him since I was a little kid. I just think if I can be like him when I’m older I’m going to be a pretty good man.

When did you start playing basketball? I’ve been playing ever since I can remember. My dad played, my brother played. I just remember picking up a basketball and loving it right away.

Why did you choose BYU? I like the style of play. It’s close to home. I really like the coaching staff and I had some of my friends from high school like Nick (Emery) and Eric (Mika) commit with me so that was fun.
