Coach’s Comment: “Henry exemplifies the spirit of a PV athlete. He has an unstoppable work ethic, both on the lanes and in the classroom.” – Coach Judy Lucia

What He Likes Most About His Sport: “It is relaxing for me. It is a way to just not think about anything else. It kind of just comes natural to me, I’m all self taught. I don’t take lessons or anything, it just comes natural.”
