Overcoming adversity is what defines character, what was the hardest moment in your life to overcome?
One of the hardest moments I had to overcome was when my grandfather passed away. He was my entire world and I looked up to him and all I ever wanted to do was make him proud. I simply remember every moment I shared with him. I found out that he without even telling me directly inspired me to believe in myself and pursue the dreams I always wanted to which is to play football. He never shot down my dream or told me to quit he just always told me to do what I wanted. When he passed I realized I needed to make him even more proud than he already was. I needed to carry on the legacy I needed to show him I work hard, I provide, and I am doing what I want. I know he would be proud of me and he looks down on me smiling and supporting me every step of the way on this journey.
If you could have any franchise restaurant in your house what would it be?
I would either have playa bowls or PDQ chicken because I think both of those places are so good and would allow me to get a lot of good nutrients from foods I actually enjoy.
What is your favorite snack food?
Watermelon, airhead bites, or gushers.
What is your degree in?
Communications
If you could have dinner with three people dead or alive, who would it be and why?
My grandfather, Kurt Warner, and Tom Brady. I would choose to have dinner with these people because first off my grandpa who passed away in October I would give anything to have one more day with him, one more dinner, one more conversation just to tell him everything and thank him for everything he gave me. Kurt Warner because he inspires me and I would love to talk to him about all his football endeavors and the journey and how it felt to be the biggest underdog. I would also ask Tom Brady about his lifestyle, his work ethic, what he did to stay in the league so long, how he trains and all the secrets he has on how you stay ready after years of being in the league. He is one of the greatest to ever do it and at such a late age he played till it’s something I hope to do as well.
What is your biggest weakness?
Really nothing, but when things go slowly I get impatient.
