About Me

I started my football career in high school and became an All State tight end my senior year for Rogers High School in Spokane, WA. I received a scholarship to University of Oregon. I was not ready for this first year of college and transferred to the University of Montana where my mentors and coaches helped me attain All-American status by my senior year and my shot at the NFL.

We as Native Americans have always known words have power and I spread hope through the power of positivity. I first shared when I was six years old that I wanted to play in the NFL and was laughed at. I look to empower our youth to set a dream and shoot for it. We must not perceive failure as a negative but a lesson learned in our journey.

Rise Beyond Limits

In my career and practice I have learned to catch the successes and not harbor the negativity throughout failures. We can change our perception of these events with skills and the practice of mindfulness. When we come from traumatic backgrounds we sometimes are not taught the social skills needed to maneuver this world.

Thank you to my Mother as she always told me I am special, my wife for the support while I reach for my dreams, my sister who kept me in line and all the Native women that kept our people moving

My Native Journey

I started telling my story over ten years ago in college to help inspire Native Youth to reach for their dreams. I have developed my workshops after reflecting on the question," Why are there not more Native athletes?" I combined simple ideas with Dialectical Behavioral coping skills I have learned while being a licensed drug and alcohol counselor.
