Being the quarterback for a division I college football team was an awesome experience. We won the Sun Belt Conference two years while I was at North Texas and played in two New Orleans Bowl games, winning one of them. I learned many lessons while playing and also learned how to lead and work well with a team. I also was a part of many intramural teams while in college.

I was All-State in both football and basketball and was the Idaho offensive player of the year in football. I also was the North Idaho Player of the Year. As a team, we finished second in state both my Junior and Senior seasons.
Mission Trips
» Tanzania Mission Trip
Going to Tanzania with my church was a great experience and really taught me a lot about the world. It kept me humble and taught me to always be thankful for what I have and to not take things for granted. I learned some great lessons while being there that I will take with me throughout my life.
» Puerto Rico Mission Trip
Going to Puerto Rico with my youth group at church was a great experience as well. It really opened my eyes to what little they had yet were so happy and appreciative for the little things that we did for them. I only wish I could have done more for them while being down there. In the future, I hope to go on another mission trip to a different part of the world.
