Together, Let’s Redefine Strength and Victory
“As a professional athlete I know what it’s like to pursue something wholeheartedly. If athletes can devote their entire lives to sport that provides a temporary victory, how much more should we be inspired to devote our lives to leaving a lasting impact in the communities around us. My greatest joy is seeing those who have experienced obstacles in life, use those circumstances to become better people. Whether it’s pastoring or coaching, my goal is to help emerging leaders grow into the people they were created to be.”
