Affiliations
- I use football, boxing, and faith as the foundation of my teaching style. From having no offers to walking on at a JUCO and earning a Division 1 spot, football taught me discipline, perseverance, and grit. Boxing brought structure, self-control, and mental toughness. Reading, especially my Bible, gave me life lessons in humility, purpose, and truth. I teach with that same mindset—building discipline, character, and determination in others, just like I built it in myself.
