Through sports, I have learned that hard work and dedication is the best way to reach goals both academically and in sports. I believe that leadership skills learned in Boy Scouts and Civil Air Patrol help me to not only push myself to be the best in the classroom and wrestling room, but serve as a role model for my team and classmates and hopefully encourage to them to achieve as well. I am an Order of the Arrow member for Boy Scouts of America and am an Eagle Scout. I am also a current member of the National Honors Society
Currently, my collegiate goal is to be part of a vibrant college community where my love of wrestling and learning can prepare me for a productive life in my chosen career field.
