I grew up in Farmington, Missouri, and played football and ran track during my time at Farmington Senior High School. After I graduated in 2015, I headed to Mineral Area College for my Associate of Arts degree, while picking up cheerleading. I then transferred to Missouri Baptist University, where I went for a Bachelor of Science in Marketing and Business Management.

While in school, I was able to build connections with my fellow students who are now lifelong friends. Through those connections I eventually found myself back at the institution that holds so many amazing memories. Missouri Baptist University truly has a special place in my heart.

Outside the professional realm, my passion for competing remains strong, as my wife and I frequently participate in volleyball draw tournaments. I also prioritize exercise, quality time with family, and indulge in reading and movie-watching. My overarching aspiration is to connect with and assist people while shining Christ’s light.
