What I like best about football is being part of a strong team where everyone matters. No matter your size or speed, there's a spot for you. Plus, it’s fun to be rewarded for big plays, discipline, and hard work on the field.
My biggest inspirations on the field are my coaches and teammates—they’re super talented and always teaching me new things, while pushing me to get better. Off the field, my family and big brother Liam have always had my back and keep me motivated. I also look up to Ray Lewis—he was an absolutely insane player, and his intensity and leadership make me want to go all in every time I hit the field.
The moment I’m proudest of in my athletic journey was winning the city championships in 2022. It felt amazing to see all the hard work pay off with my team. The following year, I was invited to play for Canada’s number one high school football team, which was a huge honor and made me even more excited to keep pushing myself.
