I’m a part of Flag Star because of the amazing opportunities it provides from kids of all ages to stay active and make new friends. 

The most important value to share with kids is that winning isn’t everything and it doesn’t define you as a person. 

Favorite pump up song: Nonstop (Drake)

Favorite sports movie: Blindside

Childhood sports hero: Antawn Jamison

Favorite youth sports coach: Coach McMahon (basketball). He taught me the importance of effort and hustle. 

Best friend I made through sports: Ben Plishker

Biggest sports failure: in flag football once, I was playing quarterback and I had a huge open space so I started running and then tripped on my own shoelace and face planted. 

Off-field interests: Tennis, Ping Pong, Mexican food.

Favorite Quote: “sometimes, all I want is to be a few inches taller so the world does not look like a dense collection of torsos”
