  • I found out at a young age that kids are mean, they tell the truth, they don’t sugar coat anything.

  • At 16 years old that I’d never play sports, but I proved them wrong.
  • In my recovery, my first goal was to get to the mailbox.
  • I don’t care what anybody says… I can do it. I take that mentality to everything I do.
