Reason behind name and number: 

KK Slammer is inspired by my love of the game animal crossing. One of my favorite characters in the game is KK Slider so KK Slammer was born. As for my number, I just like the number 3 and multiples of 3.

Just do it. Joining the bootcamp and then the team has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. I'm building confidence, getting healthier, and making friends.
