How did your experience as a Golden Knight shape you?
“Athletics play a vital role in my life and will always continue to. As a veteran performer and acrobat with Cirque du Soleil, I take my training very seriously. My job is very demanding, very dangerous, and very rewarding. I am constantly improving and honing my strategies as a student of fitness and professional athletics. Saint Rose gave me a strong foundation to build this career on.”
