Summary

I'm a caring and compassionate person with a love for the outdoors and a strong desire to become a firefighter. As the owner of LA Sports World, I've gained experience in business management, coaching kids, and leading a team, all while creating a fun and supportive environment for everyone. I'm great at building relationships with clients, employees, and parents, making sure everyone's happy with the personalized sports programs we offer. Running a business requires a lot of mental work, while my experience in construction has taught me the value of physical labor. I've done both and have learned how to balance the mental challenges of building a business with the physical demands of construction. Whether it's running a business, helping out in the community, or working hard on a construction site, I'm always ready to give it my all. I love hiking and being outdoors, and I'm always looking to grow and help others along the way.
