• Where did you grow up?
Edmond, Oklahoma
• How would you describe your hometown?
I would describe my hometown as a very fast paced growing environment. Edmond is a bid subsidiary of OKC and has done nothing but grow in the entire time that I have lived there. The schools that I went to were big and filled with kids who were all enjoyable to be around… for the most part.
• Who or what influenced you the most growing up?
My parents were huge influences on my life. They taught me valuable life lessons about growing up and shaped me into the man I am today. I am a very big family guy and have always surrounded by it my whole life. I have a lot of extendedfamily on both sides of my family, so they all played a role in my life at a certain point.
• What’s one of the greatest lessons you learned from your childhood?
It’s okay to make mistakes, it’s what you do after them and if you learn from them or not. I feel like this is one of the most important lessons someone can learn because you are going to fail at different times in your life. You must be able to put it behind you and keep going.
• Where did you go to college and what did you study?
I went to college at Oklahoma State University where I studied Marketing and Management.
• Were you involved in any clubs/groups/athletics/extra-curricular activities in college?
I was a member of the fraternity Phi Gamma Delta and a member of the Sports Management Club.
