Summary

I am a Student-athlete and volunteer firefighter for the Sewanee: University of The South. I play football for Sewanee and earned a starting spot as a freshman. I am competitive by nature and love a good challenge. I gravitate towards taking leadership not out of control but for team success not only in my football experience as well as in my schooling. I also have a great read on people and can socialize in any group and situation.
