Biography

Parents: Tim & Vicky Smits Van Oyen
Birthday: August 19, 2002

What is one of your favorite childhood memories?
My family and I did a hot air balloon ride in France and it was probably the coolest thing we have ever done as a family. We’re all pretty adventurous as a family so it was really fun that we were able to do something like that together.

You can have dinner with three people, real or imaginary. Who are you having dinner with?
Blake Lively, Victoria Garrick, and Selena Gomez

You are the headline act at a show, who is opening the show for you?
Luke Bryan

What is your dream job, especially if money was not a factor?
I would be a full time traveler. I would love to be able to just travel to any place in the world and be able to live in that country or city and experience life there and meet new people.

Do you have a pregame ritual or superstition? Any reason?
I eat gummy bears before every game. One of my favorite coaches said to eat gummy bears for energy during a game. Now I always have them with me for every game.
