About
For many athletes, the last game of their professional career marks the end of one chapter and the beginning of a new journey—one where they search for their purpose beyond football.
I’ve come to embrace the question: What now?
Little did I know, that question was just the beginning of something truly extraordinary—the opportunity to use my platform to give back, to lead by example, and to guide the next generation.
From my childhood days working at my parents' convenience store, to earning my college degree, playing football at the highest level, and now coaching, there’s one mindset that has shaped my approach to life and that I strive to instill in others: never let your dreams outweigh your work ethic.
I am incredibly blessed to have parents who taught me the value of hard work, integrity, and respect. I can confidently say these values are the foundation of who I am today. My work ethic was shaped in those early years at the store in Esmont, VA, and it grew as I entered high school, ready to face any challenge that came my way—on or off the field.
When I stepped onto the campus at Liberty University, I was fortunate to have teammates who took me under their wing and showed me the ropes. They became the brothers I never had. Watching them achieve their dreams of making it to the NFL gave me the confidence that I could do it too—and I did. I played three years of professional football with the Jacksonville Jaguars, learning more about myself and reinforcing the core values instilled in me from an early age.
My passion now is to fill the gap for kids who may not have that "big brother" figure to guide them, especially in moments of uncertainty. I want them to know that there are people who genuinely care about their well-being—people who want the best for them in every aspect of life, not just in athletics.
Beyond teaching the fundamentals of football, I believe the most critical time in a young man’s life is during his freshman year of college. It’s the transition from high school to college where a boy truly becomes a man—whether he’s ready or not.
That’s why my mission is to mentor these young men. Coaching is about more than just developing players; it’s about positively influencing their lives. It’s about helping them become better athletes, but more importantly, better men.
Just as those before me paved the way, I strive to invest in the younger generation. My hope is that one day, they’ll have the opportunity to pay it forward just as I’ve been able to. That’s the ultimate goal.
