Personal: Born 07/12/2007… Son of Amy and Chris Parent, brother of Josh, Alex, and Olivia… Comes from a family of swimmers, as Chris (father) swam at Springfield College, Amy (mother) swam at UCONN, Josh (brother) swam at Florida and currently swims at UNC, and Alex (brother) swims at Virginia Tech… Chose to attend Villanova because the swim and dive team is very close and seems like a family, which was something he wanted to be a part of. “As well as the importance of academics and athletics, Villanova was the best fit for everything I was looking for in a school.”
