Caiden having high functioning autism, enjoyed the physicallity and how fast paced the sport was.

Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

I inspired Caiden to be open on trying new things. I have always told him you cannot say you dont like something without trying it first.

What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

One thing that makes me a proud father is seeing him give 100% to anything he tries. I have always preached if your going to try something to give it your best even if your not the best at it.
