. I am a native of Glendale Heights, Illinois, attending Glenbard West High School. I went on to play college football at Upper Iowa University and then transferred to College of DuPage. After attending College of Dupage, I moved to Western Illinois University (WIU), where I received my Bachelor’s Degree in General Studies. During my time at WIU, I was a Student Assistant on the football team. I assisted in all aspects of coaching, recruiting, and strength and conditioning. After I graduated, I went to work with children at a before and after school program. Shortly after that I became a coach at Robert Morris- Peoria. While I coached there, I worked at Rogy’s Learning Place, running their entire school age program. Currently, I work with children with emotional and social learning disabilities. I believe that I am adaptable enough to complete any task with which I am presented. I truly have a passion for helping people. I love working with children; helping them grow has been my favorite part of working with them. I believe they are our future, so we should invest our time in them
