About Me
Who I am
I am a husband, father, retired American National Football League (NFL) player, United States Marine, Iraq War Veteran, humanitarian, inspirational, motivational speaker, and professor from Bakersfield, CA. I dedicate myself full time to bringing my message of hope, perseverance, and strength to churches, schools, and conferences around the United States and the world. As a keynote speaker, I help break through the boundaries that are limiting to you, your team, or organization. Let me help you move from the world of yesterday's regrets to the world of tomorrow's victories
NFL beginnings
I was the 2nd round, 41st pick in the 1998 NFL Draft to the Pittsburgh Steelers. I spent three years with the Steelers before signing on with the Seattle Seahawks, Oakland Raiders, and the St. Louis Rams.
Service in the United States Marine Corps.
I made the life choice to enlist in the United States Marine Corps as an infantry machine gunner (0331) and served my country from 2005 to 2009.

I am a 3rd generation Veteran. My grandfather served in WWII in the Navy, my father served in the Army in Vietnam, and I served in Iraq in the Marine Corps. In 2007, my Marine Corps brothers and I from 1/3 Bravo Company were deployed to Haditha, Iraq.

In 2012, I road a bicycle 3,468 miles across the United States to raise awareness about veteran suicide and childhood obesity. The ride took me through 16 states and 78 cities across our great nation.
Student
Iraq War Veteran
Student
As a student, I have earned an A.A. in Criminal Justice, B.A. in Liberal Studies, M.Ed. in Educational Leadership, and an Ed.S. in Educational Leadership. I am currently pursuing a Ed.D. in Educational Leadership.
Professor
Since 2013, I have been a professor at Bakersfield College. I teach in the discipline of welding. I believe trades are a very important part of our society and need to be a priority within our educational system.
Presentations
Embrace the Future
What is it that is holding you in the present and keeping you from accessing your brightest future? I am huge advocate in the pursuit of establishing individual educational milestones. I have learned that that my own personal educational milestones have benefited me more than my athletic achievements.
The Real Connection
I have developed multiple interactive presentations that can fit your needs for a fantastic presentation for any event. Due to my vast life experiences I am able to connect with individuals on a personal basis.
Community
As a community member that believes in “serve over self,” I have had the opportunity to serve my community in many different fashions. One example of this service is when myself and two other fellow Marines volunteered our time to work with some of the youth at the Kern County Crossroads Juvenile Corrections Facility.
A Philosophy for the Future
We are only limited by the things that we allow to limit us. The keys to success and productivity are already in our pocket. You just need someone to show you the lock and encourage you to open the door.
Workshops and Keynotes
As an award-winning motivational speaker and innovator, I will bring new life and connection to your next event. Contact me, and we can design a workshop or presentation that fits the needs that you have today.
The sky's the limit!
No topic is out of reach for me to tackle. Contact me today and we can construct a presentation that works for your needs.
