I attended a four-year college at the University of Cincinnati. I continued my athletic career at Cincinnati where I played football. Prior to college, I competed on the soccer team, golf team, and kicked for the football team at New Castle High School. I also played club soccer for USF Real. Following my career at Cincinnati I pursued my career in the NFL for two years. During this time, I also started my hype sneaker reselling business.

The most rewarding part of working for NCSA is that I get to connect with families and guide the families in the right direction of this recruiting process. In my recruiting process, I did not have the help and guidance to help me go in the right direction. On paper, my recruiting journey looked good from my personal rankings to my school interest but without that guidance there are a lot of things I look back on that I did not know at that time that could have helped me out with my college decision. I feel it is my time to give a high school athlete guidance in their recruiting process and help them find a school that is a good fit. Another favorite part of working with NCSA is not only having that connection with families but my colleagues. Team is the first and most important thing to me. Team means together everyone achieves more in my mind. I am a team player, I am very determined, and I am always willing to put forth my best effort as if I’m ready to play on the court.
