Commentary:
Sports have always been a part of my life. The late nights and early mornings of hard work were well worth it. Sports have taken me places I could only imagine, have taught me lessons that I continue to use in life, have allowed me to receive my college education for free and play QB at the Division 1 level.
Being a student athlete at Grant HS was an honor, we were fortunate to win several PIL championships and a state championship during my four years. Now being inducted to the PIL Hall of Fame is a reward that I am truly thankful for!
