Bio

I am an intelligent and highly dependable professional with a strong passion for youth, young adults and various learners. I am a hard working individual of integrity, that is moral driven and cognitively capable to handle any given situation. Phenomenal team player, bringing energy, and excitement to ensure what needs to get done, is done safely, correctly and in a timely fashion. I love to see progress in the lives of other people and the impact I can have in someone's life. I have a wife (10 years) and a daughter (4 years) that I love more than anything in the world! We love to travel! We have been to 49 of the 50 states, Alaska on the way summer 2027! We love to try new things, enjoying new experiences together. Our favorite thing to do is try new food from where ever we are visiting. I enjoy playing basketball, both with my friends casually, and competitively. Basketball is a way for me to be who I am completely without reservations. I get to be as aggressive and fierce as I want to by using this as a time to let off stress and just release emotion in general in an acceptable way. I also enjoy playing paintball. In free time, I enjoy watching basketball, movies, and television series with friends. I am simply trying to further my education so that I can continue to make life amazing for my family and help as many people become better as I can along the way!
