A skinny kid from inner-city Philadelphia heads off to Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pa.
Drafted in the fifth round of the 1995 draft (#152 overall) I put my paintbrush and pencils away to play football for the Washington Football Team. And so began my football career! Over eight great seasons, I had ups and downs playing for the Redskins, Dolphins, Chiefs, and Seahawks. I've had great years and not-so-great years, met lots of good people, and lots of users, made some friends and lost some friends but lots of fun was had and I wouldn't have traded it for the world!
Have you ever wondered what happens to players after they leave the game? Think that they spend their day relaxing in their mansions? Think again. Retirement from the NFL? Is life after the league a good thing? It isn't everything that you thought it would be. It isn't everything I though it would be.

Inspired by my son, I chose to go back to graduate school to be of service to my community.
This it! I've decided to go all the way to the end of my academic journey. I've enrolled in Grand Canyon University's Doctoral program in General Psychology with a focus in learning, technology and integration.

I am an individual with a diverse and accomplished background. As an eight-year NFL veteran, I have experienced the challenges and rewards of a professional athletic career, fostering qualities such as perseverance, discipline, and teamwork. Alongside my athletic achievements, I also prioritize education. I obtained my bachelor's degree from Lehigh University, which showcased my commitment to personal growth and academic excellence. Seeking to expand my knowledge further, I pursued a Master's degree in Instructional Design and Technology with a focus on eLearning at the University of Central Florida. This educative journey allowed me to specialize in leveraging technology for effective learning experiences. Currently, I am pursuing a Ph.D. in General Psychology, driven by my genuine curiosity about the human mind and behavior. My ultimate aspiration is to create assistive and augmentative solutions for people severely impacted by autism. By combining my expertise in technology, education, and psychology, I aim to make a profound and positive impact on the lives of those with autism, promoting their well-being and empowerment.
