One of my passions is working within the OHSAA where I am a Class 2 certified basketball official, where I officiate and teach youth all angles of participating in sports. I also previously served as one of five Youth Directors at The Cleveland Church of Christ Citadel of Hope Ministries from 2013-2018, where I worked within a team of fellow directors overseeing children ages 5-18 in growing their relationship with God. We also held several events to engage with the youth to teach positive reinforcement and life lessons. Lastly, I enjoy spending time with my family and traveling all over the world.
