First and foremost, I'm a Christian and believer in Jesus Christ. I'm an addict to His way and I'll strive to do what He expects of me.

I also have a natural passion for football. Give me some pads and a ball and I'm in my "Happy Place". I was always too big for pee-wee leagues up north and had to wait until the 7th grade to play my first game. I have never fully known what I have wanted to do until the start of my football career in 7th grade. At that moment in my life i knew that i would be playing football as long as the Good Lord will let me. 

I was born in Batesville Indiana on August 31, 1994. We moved to Jacksonville in 2006. My best friend is  truthfully my dad. He has always been there for me and introduced me to football. Thanks to him I am a football junkie. My older brother hates football. Go figure. He's a Junior at UNF this year and is majoring in Psychology.  The rest of the family are big Bengals fans, so we know what years of suffering are like. My dad taught me to follow and support your team through the bad times, as well as the good.  My Mom taught me so many different attributes of strength. She taught me to fear and love God and to praise our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

I also play guitar as a hobby. I'd like to be in a band someday. Thanks to my dad (he used to be in a band a long time ago) and youtube, I'm getting better. I can play Led Zepplin's Stairway to Heaven or Switchfoot's "Dare You To Move", and many in between.
