Everything I do I do with a chip on my shoulder. I am where I am because I never give up. In High School, I was recognized as one of the top football players in Northern California, but was overlooked when it came to recruiting for football. Rather than giving up, I spent 3 long years at Junior College. I went to Butte College in Northern California, and during my 3 years at Butte I helped lead my team to two bowl victories, was named a team captain my Sophomore Season, was named the teams Most Inspirational member, and was named All Nor-Cal Conference 1st team. On top of my accolades on the field I received my associates degree with honors and was named an Academic All-American. After my successes at Butte, I chose to transfer to Minnesota State University where I will be playing Safety and studying Construction Management.
