I was born in Dallas, Texas and spent most of my childhood in Keller, aside from the 3 years we spent in Overland Park, Kansas when I was 5 years old. My mom and dad both grew up in East Texas, so my brother and I spent a lot of our childhood weekends there with our cousins. My brother, Brady, influenced me the most growing up. He always had my back and protected me over the years, especially in high school. I developed this same characteristic with my friends and loyalty to them was always top of mind for me. I played collegiate baseball at Oral Roberts University for 4 years and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Sports Management and was fortunate to meet my fiancé’ my freshman year.
