I was a 4 year Monogram member while playing football at the University of Notre Dame. I was able to play in a National Championship, as well as three other bowl games. The highlight of my college playing career was catching a touchdown in the corner of the end zone in front of our student section against Stanford on a 4th and 20 to win the game with just over a minute left.
After college, I played five years of professional football with the Jacksonville Jaguars. After making the playoffs for the first time in a decade, I caught a touchdown on a 4th and goal, allowing us to make it to the divisional round. Once my playing days were over, I transitioned into mentoring and coaching international athletes. I helped UK athletes with their college journey to the US, as well as helping with the NFL IPP Program, which helped transition players from around the world to be ready for the NFL.
The most rewarding part of working for NCSA is helping families navigate the recruiting process and helping them get one step closer to achieving their goals. As a lifelong team player, I enjoy being able to contribute to NCSA and my fellow colleagues in any way possible. I prepare for every day as if it is gameday, and always give my best.
