I have always been a self-starter who accepts challenges many would shy away from. I work hard to achieve my goals in life. When I was told it was not realistic to aspire to a professional baseball career it strengthened my resolve. I worked hard and achieved that. A chronic injury caused me to leave baseball. Next, I focused on opening a successful Crossfit gym. As part of an amazing team of athletes, I focused and made that happen. I recently sold my share for a profit and enjoy continuing to work out there as a member. Now I am working on my next goal of finishing my degree and will graduate with high honors. I have developed many leadership skills from my experience playing sports at all levels, including professional. It has transferred into my new job in hospitality and restaurant management. Leading the team that makes the restaurant function on a daily basis is incredibly gratifying. . I am always looking to push myself and learn new skills and make things that I didn’t think I could do a reality.
