AwesomeU is an organization dedicated to helping people live life to the fullest, a mantra I developed for my purpose after losing a friend to cancer. I'm engaging and inspiring, weaving stories of my troubled childhood into positive messages for the future. In 2019, I was inducted into the American Football Association Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. After my induction speech, several people told me I need to share my story and positive message more widely. That's why I formed AwesomeU.I have a Master's of Science in Training and Human Resource Development and have worked as a training director or leadership development specialist for over a decade. I look forward to working with you!

I handle public address duties for men's and women's basketball and men's baseball and coordinate the music played during games to create an exciting, high-energy, party atmosphere.
