I bring over 15 years of football experience, from elite high school competition to collegiate play, and have dedicated my life to mastering the game and mentoring young athletes. I played for Kahuku High School in Hawaii, a program renowned for producing NFL talent, where I developed the discipline, work ethic, and competitive edge that shaped my football journey. Following high school, I competed at a top 5 junior college program, where I was recognized as one of the top 25 recruited safeties in the nation, earning a Division 1-level scholarship and receiving advanced training through elite programs such as DB Tech, under the guidance of Asai Gilman. During this time, I had the opportunity to play alongside long-time friend Alohi Gilman, now a professional athlete with the Baltimore Ravens. Although a cardiac arrest cut my playing career short, my passion for football never wavered. I am now focused on giving back to the next generation, using my experience to mentor, train, and inspire young athletes both on and off the field. My mission is to help kids develop not only their athletic skills but also the leadership, discipline, and resilience required to succeed in football and in life.
