Michael's first Junior Olympic Championships was his sophomore year and Jennier participated as a freshman. It was the Junior Olympics that excited them both to continue on with the sport. Jennifer went on to win numerous local tournaments, two individual golds while in college at University of Texas at Austin and is now a doctor. Michael went on to New York University where he was a multiple finalist in junior and senior competitions, qualifying for and winning the bronze medal at the 1995 Olympic Festival and bronze medal at the 1997 Maccabean Games.
