I am viewed as a leader in my class as well as on the field. I was voted a Captain of my football team because of my hard working nature, the camaraderie I have with my teammates and the respect I show them and my coaches. In 2014, I was nominated and earned the Army's Black Lion Award for Leadership. This award is given to a player who personifies team play - "who best exemplifies the character of Don Holleder: leadership, courage, devotion to duty, self-sacrifice, and - above all - an unselfish concern for the team ahead of himself." I thrive on the challenges that are in front of me, both academically and athletically. I never place limits on myself. I want to compete at the highest level possible and continue to be a person of high character, integrity, and drive in all aspects of my life.
