Built Through Resilience

After graduating high school with limited film and no real opportunities, I found myself at a crossroads, unsure of what was next. I made the decision to attend prep school, where I earned my first opportunity to play at the collegiate level in the NAIA.

As I continued my journey, I realized I needed a different path and transferred to a Division III program, where I truly discovered who I was as a linebacker. After two strong seasons, I took a leap of faith, entered the transfer portal, and was blessed with multiple Division I opportunities, ultimately earning a full scholarship.

My story is not just about success. It is about resilience, perseverance, and faith. Every step of the journey taught me something, and that perspective now shapes the way I train and coach athletes.

Today, my mission is to give back to the next generation by building disciplined, confident, and highly skilled athletes. I want to create real opportunities and a strong development system for athletes, especially in communities like Long Island, where that guidance is needed most.

“I am giving back to the community what I learned at every level, and building the kind of system I know Long Island needs.”
