Football has been a part of my life since I was born! My Dad has been a high school coach for 25 years and has instilled knowledge of the game, hard work and dedication to being a great teammate.  

I am a leader in the classroom and on the field through accountability of my actions and character to my family, friends, school and community.  Academics are most important to me, and I will pursue schools that value higher educational standards.  

On the field, I have grown as a player and an athlete. As a Frosh, I was just 5’7” 141 lbs but was asked to join Varsity due to how hard I practiced - earning a few Scout Team Player awards.  I grew 5” as a Sophomore and played Varsity STP and moved to the Safety position for the first time after playing Weakside OLB  (Willie) since 3rd grade. My Junior season(2021), as the starting Varsity Safety at 6’1” 185 we finished the season losing in the Semifinals to the eventual State Champion in Div 1.  I was named All Region in the State of WI. I was 1st Team All-Area from the media and Unanimous Choice 1st Team All Conference Safety in the FVA. For my team, I played every Special Team and was the teams PR returning 3 punts for touchdowns. As a former QB, the transition to Safety was not difficult for me and I love the opportunities it provides me to help my team.  Behind a great front 7, last year I was able to make a lot of explosive plays for our defense including pick 6, scoop scores and caused fumbles against some of our biggest rivalries. 

I have continued to grow (physically) now at 6’2” and the weightroom has helped me grow to 205 lbs by May ‘22.  As a Varsity letter winner & 3 sport athlete in a school of around 2,000 kids, I have continued learning how to compete and deal with adversity at a high level. 

Varsity Baseball: I was named Unanimous Choice First Team All Conference (FVA) Outfielder following the ‘22 season. Named 2nd Team All Region OF, and was named to the ‘22 All State Academic Team.  I finished the season leading in several hitting categories as well as base running and solid fielding.  I love staying active by competing with my friends.

I also continue to grow as a leader through our school leadership committees and as captain of the sports teams at Appleton North High School.  

I am looking forward to my senior year and what the future has in store for me.
