I'm a driven, hardworking student athlete. I'm very well rounded, and I strive to be the best at everything I do. This competitive drive pushes me to do my best at all times, as I hate to lose. However, when I do fail or get bested I am incredibly focused on improving. I also make efforts to give back to the community and help others, and I've volunteered as an assistant coach for my local Portland middle school team to try and help the next generation of football players. I'm also a leader who strives to lead by example. I was named varsity captain as a junior, and that pushed me to really step up and lead my team, and to inspire my teammates on and off the field. Off the field, I love to learn more about my academic interests, and constantly push myself to take on harder challenges in the classroom. I am also quick with a smile and have a good sense of humor that allows me to connect with my peers. In summary, I'm a competitive, driven, friendly and intelligent student who wishes to find a college where he can not only compete at the next level, but obtain the knowledge and experience that will help me succeed after college in my chosen field.
