Senior Nickname: “All hail hale”

2019-2020 UCSD Archery Competitive Team Member

Nick first joined SGA during his freshman year of college after one of the officers shared about it in a Class of 2023 discord. SGA was the first club he had heard of and decided to join to make some new friends. During his first year, Nick shot in the bowhunter division and competed with the team at several tournaments. However, after shooting bowhunter his first year, Nick decided to switch to barebow because he felt he wanted to be challenged. He explained that while 9s and 10s were the standard for bowhunter and compound shooters, he liked the idea of being competitive with scores outside of the gold ring. Furthermore, Nick says that he enjoys shooting barebow because he is able to see how he is improving over time.

After his first year, Nick explains that a combination of COVID and other activities made it more challenging for him to come to the field regularly. Despite this, Nick has fond memories of the club, especially at team dinners where he could celebrate and bond with his teammates after tournaments. Some of Nick’s favorite memories with the club were spending time with his family and group events with multiple families.

After graduating, Nick is planning on moving to Carlsbad for his job at ThermoFisher, where he will be working on the company’s data architecture. We want to congratulate Nick on his accomplishments and wish him luck on his future professional career!
