"I was born in New York City and raised in Los Angeles, California. Somewhere in my bi-coastal upbringing lies the essence of my being. A bridge between two worlds (the East and West). Always finding peace in the middle of two extremes. My early years were filled with athletics and art. I fell in love with football and writing. I earned a degree in creative writing from the University of Arizona. Driven by a deep desire to overcome the adversity of my childhood, I battled my way to the NFL. With the tools of visualization, discipline, and vigilance in every aspect of my life, I manifested my childhood dream of being a gridiron warrior in 2009 when I was drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars 39th overall. My football career provided me with an in-depth, first-hand experience of dealing with immense pain and trauma. In life after football I was forced to learn and cultivate practices to allow for healing and restoration, bringing balance to my mind, body, and spirit. Seeking out the hidden truths that lie just beneath the surface of everyday experiences. I’m passionate about sharing my experiences and knowledge with the world to leave this place a little better than when I found it.”
