Q&A with Micah
Why do live performances (athletics, theater, etc.) matter to you?
It is so much more exciting to be able to see an athlete or performer in person. Also, the feel and environment of a stadium cannot be matched from a screen alone.
Who is one person outside your immediate family, that made it possible for you to be here?
Dave Palmer, he was my first basketball coach and made me fall in love with sports.
What will you take with you from your experience as a UC Irvine men's volleyball student-athlete?
The mindset of everything can be improved, and nothing is perfect.
Best sandwich?
Panini prepared by (teammate) Aidan Cuppett
Apples or oranges?
Apples (more variety)
