My father passed on my 18th birthday and I felt lost.

Playing the sport I loved (football) was not the same.

Choosing a college was tough.

Eventually, I found a way to forge my own path from following my interests. I started running endurance events and did theater while I was in college.

Through the tough times we have in life, we can also open up new doors. My goal is to help other discover how they can forge their own path.
