My role model will always be my father. He’s the hardest working person I know. He inspires me to chase the dreams that he couldn’t chase, he inspires me to be the best person I could be.

Overcoming adversity is what defines character, what was the hardest moment in your life to overcome? 

I feel like my biggest adversity came my sophomore year of junior college. It wasn’t really a good year for me. I didn’t do well in the classroom and that really affected my recruiting. It actually got to the point where I might not have had a high enough GPA to even get a scholarship. I met with my advisors and they told me I need to get a 4.0 for two semesters straight to even be D1 eligible. With that being a task at hand and my dreams at stake I entered the grind mode. I didn’t even know I had and I accomplished my goal and I dug myself out of the hole. It was a very dark time for me because at times I didn’t believe in myself to get the work done but I trusted God and Dug deep to do what I have to do and now I’m here!
