When I played for Pop Warner club I was offensive tackle but since my 8th grade I played only defensive end. I like History and I like to read books about history. I like to play video games too. I'm a people person and I connect very easy with anybody. I'm determined and commit to do things right even if I have to ask so many questions to better understand what my task is. With my attitude about school and sport I think that I will be great asset to any school and team.I'm a team player and hard worker. I do the job and get it done as soon as I step on the field and off the field. I'm looking all the time to improve my skill level in football as well as academic. I would like to be a good player to be able to play at college level and willing to work hard to achieve that goal. I would like to go to any school that will be in my field of interest. I was invited to the camp that was organized by NUC to play in the game North vs. South  in December of 2012 and I was happy to be involved in the event like this. I hope I will be invited next year to play it as a senior.  

In addition after my freshman year I was invited to a junior camp in Rhode Island run by the NFL and Coast Guard. In April of the same year I was invited to participate in Football University, where I worked with retired NFL defensive coordinator, Rex Norris. I worked on developing my skills as a defensive end, a position the played as a sophomore. the summer after my sophomore year I was invited to Oklahoma University to participate in a camp with top prospect kids hosted by NCSA and FBU.
