I have trained with the best kicking instructors and worked with personal trainers with the goal of playing college football. I have kicked side by side with NFL Legends and Lou Groza Award Winners, gleaming all I can from them; and what I've learned more than anything is that it takes dedication, commitment and a good education to get to the next level and beyond. My family, my faith, my teachers, coaches and teammates help keep me balanced on and off the field and I know collegiate football is a dream I can look forward to and I embrace the challenge it will bring in my future.
