I started playing contact football at the age of 7. But my love for the game developed much earlier in my life. My family has always either watched NFL games or friends and relatives games. Watching these games I would look up to all "the older kids", now I am "the older kid" and I want to take it to the next level. With my work ethic, mental strength and IQ for the game I think I would fit right into a collegiate level team. I am a hard working student athlete who has high expectations for himself. My competitive mindset allows me to take my play to the next level. Not only do I work hard on the field, I work hard in the classroom. I am very involved in a club known as Bridging L.I.V.E.S. In this club we work on youth drug and alcohol use prevention. I have an executive board member role in this club. Not only in school am I involved, but in my community. I love to give back to the program that turned me into the athlete I am today, the Bridgewater Badgers.
