I grew up in Palm Coast, graduated from UCF, and have been playing volleyball for about 12 years. I picked it up during college intramurals when friends needed a sub, and quickly found myself drawn to the courts—whether indoor, beach, or grass.

I became a student of the game right away. Coming from a soccer background, I knew the value of quality touches, so I played every opportunity and spent time absorbing every video and breakdown I could find.

Over the past few years, I’ve helped organize local open gyms and tournaments. I enjoy seeing the game grow, competing with positivity, and being a steward of a sport that’s given me so much.
