I live in Davenport, FL just outside of the Orlando area where I have lived since I attended college at UCF. After playing baseball in high school, I went on to play two years of college baseball at South Florida State College. I graduated from SFSC with an Associates Degree in Business Administration. I was awarded Scholastic Player of the Year. After SFSC, I decided to hang up the cleats and attend UCF as a student to pursue my Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Science.

As a student and after graduating, I worked as a CrossFit coach for almost two years. I left that position to take on the role as Wellness/Recreation Director for the Good Samaritan Society in Kissimmee, FL. During my time working as a Director, I was able to help senior citizens/residents achieve their goals of well-being. I was able to build a program that allowed seniors the opportunity to improve their physical, intellectual, and social well-being.

Years later, I began working for NCSA as a recruiting coordinator in October of 2023. I am very excited to get to work with high school athletes and show them a service that would have been extremely helpful back when I was in their shoes as a student athlete.

In my free time, I spend time with my beautiful wife and our dog, Anakin. We have enjoyed traveling the world over the last 6 years visiting over 20 different countries and hope to visit many more! My favorite sports to watch are Baseball and Football. Go Dolphins!
