She helped me and my brother in so many ways from sports to our spiritual lives. 

What motivates you to work hard?

  • My family first. We’ve been through so many trails and tribulations that would take too long to list. I just want us to be happy again. But also I want this for myself and my future family. Ever since I was a kid I wanted to be a superstar athlete. I want to make that kid proud.
