I was born in a small town in Shawnee, Oklahoma, and I’ve always had a strong work ethic. Since I was 15, I’ve worked in a variety of jobs, starting at a trampoline park before moving on to Texas Roadhouse and later Parker’s BBQ. Eventually, I took the initiative to start my own landscaping business, which taught me the value of hard work, responsibility, and leadership. One of the most influential people in my life was my teacher, Ms. Lang. She taught me in both 7th and 11th grade, and her support and guidance had a lasting impact on me. She always pushed me to do my best and helped shape my confidence in myself.
Right now, I am balancing college and playing football while continuing to grow personally and professionally. My experiences working different jobs and running my own business have helped me develop a strong work ethic, time management skills, and a deep appreciation for perseverance. College has been an exciting challenge, and I’m always looking for ways to push myself and improve both academically and athletically. Football has taught me to be tough through everything regardless of circumstances.
Looking ahead, I have big goals for my future. I want to continue developing my skills in business and leadership, possibly expanding my entrepreneurial pursuits. Whether it’s continuing in the sports world or building a successful business, I aim to work hard and make a lasting impact. No matter where life takes me, I want to use my experiences to inspire and help others, just like Ms. Lang did for me.
