I have always had an interest in football I've been playing since I was six so I knew for the most part I'd probably be doing something surrounding that and he's in the clear to the end zone touchdown W but business on the other hand that wasn't something that got kind of developed until I was older I became infatuated with the idea of being able to create something from the ground up as I got older I just felt like a lot of my experiences that I learned through football and Athletics were really applicable to starting growing businesses and a lot of different things in the business world that's kind of where the connection started and um it just manifested after that so my uh your crew EV process out of high school was kind of hectic I knew I was going to play football and that was going to play a factor in my decision I just didn't know where and I just felt like if I went into my adult life and my college life surrounding my myself really one demographic of like just athletes and pretty much following that I felt like I wouldn't grow as much as I could as a person you know I was I was always looking for a balance and I felt like here this whole university not just robs shows its dedication to its Athletics and its academics continuously so I feel like that dedication from the University to itself really sold me and made me want to be a part part of coming here and then the the raw School business is just a cherry on top oh and yeah it's just a cherry on and I feel like the biggest way that Ross has supported me as a whole is just by being itself and being its own community and what I mean by that is as athletes you know a lot of our time is spent chasing one goal and it's nice to be able to have another community that is just as is focused and and invested but isn't necessarily football it's nice to be able to have something else to think about that's just as challenging mentally so I feel like the Ross Community just as a whole just by being itself just by being competitive and friendly at the same time and uh all the team building things that we do just that and having that as a student athlete is just so much and it's it's precious and priceless [Music]
