Summary
I am a deeply passionate individual that has found a love for equipment at every level. I have experience in both the NCAA and NFL, so I understand what kind of determination and perseverance are necessary for the world of sports. As much as I have loved my journey in football equipment, I would love to get a perspective of sports in a new way.
