PERSONAL STORY:

I dreamed of becoming an NFL offensive lineman from the age of ten. In April 1992, that dream became reality when I was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals. During my career, I snapped the ball to Joe Montana, blocked for Marcus Allen, and helped lead teams to two CFL championship rings, achievements beyond anything I imagined. However, my life was not always easy. There was a time in my life when I was overwhelmed and contemplating ending my life. In darkness, I called my dad. He shared the truth of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and that night I surrendered my life.
