About me

I first fell in love with the game of football in 1987 when I was 8 years old, but I did not realize it until I was much older.  I grew up as a baseball fan and a little league baseball player.  I think its fair to say that I had potential to be a darn good baseball player and I was passionate about the sport.  I owned thousands of baseball cards and had tremendous knowledge of the history of the game.  To be honest I had no interest in playing football.  Our neighbor at the time was the president of the local pop warner football team and asked my father if I wanted to tryout for the team, but I declined, I informed him that I was a baseball player not a football player.  However our neighbor was persistent, and two years later I conceded and told my dad that I want to try playing football.  This was the best decision that I ever made!  Playing football was easy to me and I enjoyed it!  Everything about the game came naturally for me, whether it was learning plays or evaluating my opponent.  

I continued to have success playing football in high school.  At the conclusion of my high school career I was the recipient of a full athletic scholarship to play football at New Mexico State University.  While at New Mexico State I had a more success on the gridiron than I did during my high school years.  As result of my on field success I received attention from the NFL but ultimately found my niche playing  north of the border in the Canadian Football League.   My experience playing in the Canadian Football League was a lifetime dream come true.  The phrase "I'm living the dream" was exactly what I was doing.  I was playing professional football and getting paid for it!  Playing football in the Canadian Football League was truly a blessing!  However, the moment I keep close to my heart and cherish greatly is the night that I met my fiance, Carla!  She means everything to me!  She is very supportive of me and I can not thank her enough for how greatly she has impacted my life in a positive way! 

My football playing days are now a thing of the past.  I retired from playing football in 2009 at the age of 29.  It sounds young but in athlete years, especially football, you are at the "cuffs" of your career at that age.  Now the real excite has begun!  There is a old adage that goes, "if you do something you love you will never work another day in your life."  Living by this mantra has caused me to set my sights on  securing a position in the corner office!  Yes I am talking about the coveted position as a General Manager of a NFL franchise!  These positions are hard to attain but they are attainable.  I am currently honing my skills by working as the Player Personnel Supervisor for the San Jose Sabercats of the Arena Football League.  With this organization I wear many hats which is providing priceless experience that I will take with me to the NFL.  Some of my duties are hiring interns, recruiting and signing new players, evaluating opponents rosters, and setting up open tryouts to find new talent.   

Be on the lookout because I will soon be spearheading your favorite NFL teams personnel decisions!!!
