Skating since:  2013

What made you get involved in roller derby?  My daughter was watching Whip It one day and I thought, I can do that.  It looked so bad ass.  I googled local teams and emailed Rocktown before I could talk myself out of it.  

How did you pick your name?  The guys at worked helped me pick my name.  HydraShok is a type of ammunition.  My number (.40) is for 40 caliber.  It was either HydraShok or Throat Punch.  I had to explain that throat punches weren't allowed.    

Favorite derby memory:  Just being part of an awesome team.  

Derby Mantra:  "I can do it!"  I have to keep repeating this to myself.  

Likes:  Sweet tea. My Kindle Fire. Spongebob Squarepants - I watch it on TV. I stream it. I have DVDs. -just about everyday. I know, it's weird.  

Dislikes:  Plaid. Soft drinks.Talking on the phone.

Pre bout rituals:  Sweet tea and PowerBars - The fuel of people like me.  

Real job:  I work for the City of Staunton.
