Interests

I love spending time with my family. I have been married for over 10 years and have 3 beautiful children. I also have a deep passion for helping people. I love to mentor and inspire young urban student athletes to help them reach their full potential through an organization by the name of Made For More. I also enjoy playing sports, swimming, going on nature walks and playing the piano.
