I started my football career when I was 7 in pop warner. My passion for the game grew as my dad taught me the finer points of the game, and I began to understand the x’s and o’s. I continued playing through out my school years, and beyond. My first season in Semi-pro was in 2006 with the Roscoe Rush. I remained with the organization for 2 seasons before a torn ACL sidelined me. It was a few years later that I moved to southern California, and met Brad Tyer, Owner of the Maddogs. I was accepted into the organization as a db’s coach in 2008-2009. But within weeks I was given the position of defensive coordinator. After the 09 season the Maddogs weren’t to continue. So after a lot of time, money, and planning I have begun this new adventure as the owner of the Santa Clarita Stampede. I look forward to many more years of semi-pro football in the Santa Clarita Valley.
