From the illustrious class of 2000, he boasts an impressive collection of eleven varsity letters spanning three sports. His achievements stand as a testament to his prowess, cementing his position as arguably one of the most celebrated wrestlers in the school's history. He garnered 1st Team Eastern Ohio Wrestling League (EOWL) honors and secured an equally remarkable 1st Team All-Trumbull County selection on three occasions. Adding to his wrestling accolades, he clinched the prestigious EOWL "Wrestler of the Year" title in 1998. His distinction lies in being the first and only Girard wrestler to achieve the remarkable feat of qualifying for the State Wrestling Tournament three times. Notably, he secured a commendable 6th place finish in this event during his senior season. A school record at the time, his tally of 120 career wins exemplifies his mastery on the mat. His leadership was equally evident as he earned team MVP honors thrice, guiding his team with impressive pins and takedowns. His accomplishments have led him to his rightful place as a new inductee in the EOWL Hall of Fame. Football, too, bore witness to his triumphant journey. As a senior running back, he shone on the field, achieving 1st Team All-Metro Athletic Conference (MAC), 1st Team All-Trumbull County, and All-Northeast Ohio (NEO) recognition. His distinction extended to an honorable mention All-Ohio selection and a nomination for the coveted Trumbull County Player of the Year accolade. Remarkably, he once held the school record for the most touchdowns in a game, a testament to his impact on the gridiron. Not one to be confined to a single domain, he also excelled in track and field. His prowess extended to the 300 hurdles, the 400 meters, and his role in the 4x400 meter relay team, where his contributions earned him All-MAC recognition. In recognition of his exceptional achievements across multiple sports, he was bestowed with the prestigious "Trumbull County Athlete of the Year" Award in 2000. His accomplishments were further commemorated through a civic resolution from the mayor, honoring his exceptional journey.
