Born and raised on Maui I’m one of few Polynesian football players that represent the game of football in the big 12. Coming from a small island I faced adversity throughout my years leading up to college athletics. Seeking better opportunities, I moved to California to continue my pursuit of division one ball and that was only the start of my journey. After a high school career of three years in California, Covid hit and my senior season was snubbed. Determined to continue playing, I moved to west Des Moines iowa where a full senior season could be played. Over three states, 6 years, and countless ups and downs I was blessed with the opportunity to play at Kansas. I understand the challenges of an underdog and I’m here to represent companies that understand this journey as well. As always, spread aloha 🤙🏽
