I’ll bring a hard nosed, physical brand of football and a never quit attitude. A constant pursuit of excellence in everything I do.

If given the opportunity I will give everything I have to my team and organization on and off the field to win and make whatever team I am with better. I just need to be given the opportunity to show that.
