This individual left an indelible mark on Girard High School from the very beginning of his tenure. Seizing his inaugural opportunity to touch the football, he swiftly turned a swing pass into a 50-yard touchdown. This first touchdown marked the initiation of a remarkable and record-breaking journey. Throughout his three-year football career, he held the distinction of being a two-way player, contributing on both offense and defense. His prowess was apparent from the start, earning him an array of accolades including All-Conference, All-County, All-District, and an Honorable Mention All-State selection as a sophomore. Moreover, he secured nominations for the prestigious Big 2 award on three occasions during his time at Girard. His excellence persisted over his final two seasons, particularly as the stalwart of the Indian's offense. As a junior, he replicated his sophomore triumphs and even assumed the role of quarterback when necessary. His senior year would stand as a testament to his abilities as he etched his name into Girard's football record books with extraordinary achievements in single game, single season, and career offensive categories. Naturally, he repeated his All-Conference, All-County, and All-District selections, now elevated by the honor of being recognized as All-Ohio. Additionally, he received the distinction of being a Top 100 Running Back for the Class of 2009, an accolade presented by Old Spice Red Zone America. His record-breaking accomplishments read as follows: he carried the ball an impressive 623 times during his career, accumulating nearly 4,000 yards and setting a school record with 72 touchdowns at that time. His versatility extended beyond rushing, as he also managed to secure 42 receptions for 521 yards and contributed to a total of 436 career points. These achievements positioned him at the pinnacle of Girard High School's history for single-season rushing touchdowns and career touchdowns. In fact, his 3,921 career rushing yards made him Girard's all-time leader, a title he held until 2018. With a marital union of nine years to his wife Ashley, he is a devoted father to four children: Brayden (9), Jax (3), Kyla (5), and Alayna (1). Presently, he serves in the United States Navy as a Nuclear Reactor Operator aboard naval submarines, further demonstrating his commitment to service and dedication to his country.
