Summary

Worked many jobs starting at the age of 17. Through many experiences I've obtained useful skills and met inspiring individuals who've molded me into the person I am today. Anything I put my mind to, whether it's in retail, sales, the kitchen, construction or on the football field, I was able to master any skill or task thrown at me. I also attended Military school where I learned life changing lessons, morals to live by and received memorable awards in football, basketball as well as track and field. My goal in life is to spread as much positivity onto the world as possible, as well as help others as much as possible. Especially those who need it most.
