He is the oldest of four children, including sisters Mary Ellen and Emily and brother Addison.
Mary Ellen is a Stanford graduate who played volleyball there, Emily is a current Stanford student, and Addison lived in Morgantown, West Virginia before their father’s job took him to the Indianapolis area.
