I grew up in Tallahassee, Florida and graduated from Lawton Chiles High School in 2013. I went on to attend Florida State University where I graduated with my bachelor's degree in the spring of 2017. I started pursuing my coaching career that spring and accepted a job at Samford University as a defensive assistant with the football team. After 2 years spent there, I accepted a Graduate Assistant position at Temple University where I worked towards my master's degree and coached football. In the fall of 2021, I graduated with my master's degree in Higher Education from Temple University. I joined the Veterans staff in 2022.
