Empowering Athletes to Thrive: Experience, Mentorship & Success

As a multi-faceted athlete with a magnitude of an athletic career history I bring knowledge, experience, locker room presence, work ethic, a team dynamic, coaching and a mentorship atmosphere as the Vice President of GP Training.

I started my athletic career as a Running Back and Track star at Eastview High School. I continued on to be a three-sport athlete during high school – Football, Basketball & Track. All this, while playing soccer and baseball throughout my young adulthood. I dealt with much adversity post high school but prevailed as God blessed me with the opportunity to play Football as a Wide Receiver at Rochester Community and Technical College, (we were the first JUCO to make it to the Junior College National Championship). This is also where I met our founder, Garrett and we clicked instantly. We both transferred to North Dakota State College of Science where I attained my Sports Management degree. My high school and college athletic career paved the way to my current position as a professional arena football Running Back & Wide Receiver for the Saint Paul Bears and the Vice President & Running Backs Coach of GP Training. I have been a part of this organization since its inception, I wholeheartedly believe in our prestigious team and in our mission to help athletes reach their highest goals.

Along with my athletic accolades, in more recent years I have branched out and been able to simultaneously dive into a lucrative modeling and acting career. I have participated in multi-international campaigns focusing on print and commercial work. This has allowed me to expand my expertise and cultural capability alongside a wide range + well-rounded audience & peer group.

As the Vice President & Running Backs Coach of GP Training, I am able to execute my vast experience in varying fields to effectively communicate and connect with everyone. My love for the game of football as well as experience as player and coach allows me to connect with our recruits with a parallel mindset and help them to reach their maximum potential. Our entire team at GP Training is dedicated to the success of our recruits and our organization with a sole purpose – to help our athletes learn, grow and succeed.
