Why is the Teche Area important to you?
The Teche Area is important to me because I’ve been around it since I was a young boy. While I am not originally from this area it does hold a special place in my heart and I do call it the place I refer to as home. I attended Westgate High School from 2011-2015 but even before moving to the area I had always been around because of my father. He has coached at Westgate since the school was established and I grew up loving the school and athletic program.
What do you do for fun?
Since becoming a father a few years ago most of my fun comes from parenting or anything to do with my children really. I have a 1,2, & 3 year old, & they are my entire world and focus point. They are all a ton of fun to be around. I enjoy the simple things in life like being a parent and being family oriented so anything that I do with them is fun to me. Honestly I have the least amount of fun when I’m not around them, I grow rather bored if I am not around my children.
What are your hobbies?
My hobbies include gaming & watching sports. More simple things that brings me peace and stimulate my mind. I also enjoy reading books and researching history. Anything that picks my brain and makes me think a bit brings me joy.
Who are your role models?
My role model is my Father. However I have several other Men & Women throughout the course of my life that have helped and guided me along the way.
What are some of your plans or goals?
I won’t share my personal plans in my life, but my sole goal right now is being the best Father, Husband, Coach, & Teacher I can possibly be. Everything else will fall into place if I continue to maintain and improve.
