Dedicated professional with experience in sports officiating and pressure washing. Demonstrates strong time management and flexibility while enhancing customer satisfaction through quality service. Committed to fostering teamwork and maintaining professionalism in high-pressure environments.
I grew up playing all types of sports. I played baseball, basketball, and football. At an early age I realized working out and prioritizing my health was important. Working out became my favorite activity. I loved seeing progress come from relentless hard work. After trying out all these sports, I chose baseball. Baseball became a personality for me. I love the grind. The ups and downs is what it's all about. Baseball is all about failure and how you respond to it.

Education
I am currently enrolled at Pasco-Hernando State College to play baseball. I just graduated from Sickles High School. From my time at Sickles I learned that hard work produces good outcomes. In the classroom I was an A's and B's student throughout my four years, graduating with a 5.8 weighted GPA. I earned NHS honors. I created so many powerful relationships with my teachers and friends. I learned that asking questions opens doors to new opportunities. Being comfortable with being uncomfortable was my biggest takeaway from learning. Knowing there is light at the end of the tunnel and never giving up is truly so important.
