about me


To tell something about myself I would first have to start with where it all began I was born in New Port Richey. When I was three years old I had to have eye surgery because one of my muscles in my eye tore. This makes me have to wear glasses or contacts for the rest of my life or I literally cannot see a thing. Also I played soccer for 14 years and the highlight of my career was my junior year in high school we won states and was the first boy’s team in our county to win states for soccer for boys and girls teams. The other big highlight that defines me is that I started a golf tournament that helps out a Livestrong foundation at my local YMCA that helps people who have gone through chemotherapy and are trying to regain muscle strength. The money that I have raised has put three people through the program that have not been able to pay because of cost. Also it has bought the program a lot of equipment that they did not have prior to my donation. As you may be able to tell this golf tournament means the most to me and reason that would be is because my grandfather who was taken way to early at the age of 75 died of stage four cancer in his bones, liver, and lungs. He was my hero and the drive that keeps me going when I think that I cannot anymore. My family is my world and they make me smile when I even think about them. We define the word family by just telling each other everything and not keeping a thing from each other and even though I am away at college I still eat dinner with my family every sunday by me going back home or them coming down here.
