Personal Overview

My goal is to inspire individuals to recognize that they can obtain their personal goals, formulate leadership skills and inspire others to be great leaders and guide teams to victory.

It wasn't until I would attend San Francisco State University's Lam college of Business where I developed leadership skills that would have a direct correlation with my success as the college rugby team's captain. My focus now is to help others build up their confidence to tackle any challenges that they may face, in their personal life and as well as rugby or work. Consistent improvement is something that is important to me.

For example,
Weight and speed training is a weekly duty and it is just as important to me as getting an A+ on a school assignment, or attending a friend's birthday gathering. Although training can be tough at times, my dedication to the sport makes my exercise routine straightforward, productive and at times very enjoyable.

One story I can share,
In 2015, I got to college and felt undersized when having dreams of playing rugby at the top level. It was hard to gain weight, although consistent sleep, good diet and constantly working out allowed me to slowly achieve the physical goals I needed to get my dream job of playing rugby at the highest levels.
Since my dad played, rugby around the world has evolved toward a money driven sport away from why it used to be played. Although, I am still one of the players that considers myself someone who plays simply for the love of the sport and the honor that comes with being the son of a rugby player. Now 23 years old, 6'2 190 Ib, here are some off the accomplishments I have achieved:

2015- Northern California High school champions with O'dowd Rugby
2016- Debut for Olympic Club vs Glendale Raptors
2016- USA U20 All American Camp
2018- USA College All American Camp
2019- USA Rugby Club National Champions with Olympic Club
2019- Played for Lifewest MEN's 7s team vs USA Rugby WOMEN's 7s team (scrimmage) @ The USA Olympic Training Center in San Diego

These little accomplishments gave me more than enough motivation to continue following my dream of playing rugby for a living and pursuing it at the highest levels in America as well as around the World.

In conclusion, there is nothing greater than finding opportunities for smart people to do awesome things and it’s a fantastic process that I feel lucky to participate in. Overall, I love meeting new people and learning new things, so please feel free to say hello and share a story with me.
