- Nickname: Have no nickname in Bowls yet. Had a few in competitive swimming, which shouldn't be used here
- Family members who bowl: Late father, Jon Behncke (2013), Jan Behncke, Sun City, AZ
- Greatest influence in bowls and why: No one person, but I cherish the men/women I've met, who enjoy competing at a high level, and can demonstrate integrity, sportsmanship, appreciating the beauty of the day, and share a good life story or personal moment over a drink afterwards. I've met many such men/women so far.
- Best player competed against and why: Bill Brault/Steve Smith pairs team. They have just had our number when matched against them in big tourneys. A combination of steady, effective lead bowls, a strong will to win, and smart, effective shot calling makes them a tough game every time.
- Goals/Aspirations for personal bowls career: Would like to compete in Australia or New Zealand someday against some of the world's best. Also, would like to help prosper, coach and develop more competitive bowls talent through youth development programs on our US soil.
- Goals/Aspirations outside of bowls: Continue promoting health and wellness opportunities in my local communities; possible return to school to complete a degree; serving in youth and family ministry at my church.
- Greatest bowls achievement: Not yet
- Random fact about you: Recently engaged
