I’m a part of Flag Star because…
I was fortunate enough to have many great coaches, mentors and leaders in my life. I want to be that for the young gunners in this league
What’s the most important value to share with/teach the kids:
The sum is greater than the parts. No matter how great a player is individually they cannot succeed without a team around them doing their part.
Favorite intro/pump-up song:
Candyman by Zedd & Aloe Blacc
Favorite Sports Movie:
Hardball
Who was your childhood sports hero:
Kobe Bryant
Who was your favorite youth coach and what did he/she teach you:
My High-school football Coach, John Small. He taught me to play with integrity on the field. You can play hard and do the right thing
Who’s the best friend you made through sports: I have three from Georgetown:
Darius Baxter, Troye Bullock and Daniel Wright.
What’s your most cringe-worthy sports moment / biggest failure:
My senior year of HS we were playing in the second round of the playoffs against a team we steamrolled during the regular season. We completely underestimated them and got our tails kicked by 3 touchdowns. The lesson there is you have to show up and prepare for your opponent each week no matter what.
What are your off-field interests/hobbies:
I really enjoy music! Going to concerts music festivals etc.
What’s your favorite quote:
“Nobody cares, work harder”
