I started playing competitive tackle in third grade. Ever since I started I've been hooked. I love being part of a brotherhood that grows and competes together. One thing that has helped me grow as a person and an athlete is that when I was younger, I was on a club ball team that always dominated our league. However, during my freshman year of high school, our team had a losing record of 3-4. I, myself, and our team as a whole had to take a look at our selves and our team and determine how we wanted the rest of our high school careers to go. We had many guys not come back our sophomore year. Those that returned put the work in over the off season and came back. We were proud that our sophomore and JV team both went 8-0. in June 2019, I had knee surgery after an injury received in a 2018 game that persisted into the Spring of 2019. I returned to full contact and play in September 2019 and continued on the Varsity team in 2020.
