To understand me you have to understand where I come from, or rather, who I come from. My parents are both retired U.S. Navy Commanders who raised me in a certain way, emphasizing leadership, teamwork, and accountability. I am a naturally driven competitor and I try to outwork everyone, every day. I love to train, study film, and make myself better all year long. What my parents taught me was that in team sports, just like in life, it's not just how hard you work, it is how you inspire others to work. Don't make excuses or complain and play your role as well as you possibly can. I go to a small school so I often play on the line. I have the athleticism to play tight end, receiver, linebacker and even safety. But my school needs me on the line. I have embraced it and try to create a culture of excellence among my fellow "hogs" as well as the whole team. I promise to be an asset to your program on the field, in the classroom, in the weight room and on campus as a representative of your coaching staff and football team.
