My journey has always been built around hard work, discipline, leadership, and the willingness to take a chance on something bigger.

Two Paths. One Work Ethic.

Built Through Experience

From competing at the varsity and collegiate levels to managing residential and commercial projects, the same foundation carries through everything I do: preparation, accountability, discipline, and doing the work the right way.

Athletics & Athlete Development

Locked In Performance

Sports have been a major part of my life from an early age. From 2009–2013, I attended McKinney High School, where I became a three-sport varsity athlete as a freshman.

Throughout my high school athletic career, I earned numerous awards and accolades while competing at a high level and learning the discipline, toughness, and work ethic required to succeed.

After high school, I continued my athletic career at Angelo State University, competing at the NCAA Division II level in the Lone Star Conference. From 2014–2016, I played defensive back and earned the opportunity to become a starting defensive back as a freshman.

My years as an athlete taught me that talent alone is never enough.

Success comes from consistency, preparation, accountability, confidence, discipline, and putting in the work when nobody is watching. Those experiences became the foundation behind Locked In Performance.

Today, I use what I learned throughout my athletic career to help develop the next generation of athletes. My goal is not only to improve athletic ability, but to help athletes build the mindset, confidence, discipline, strength, speed, fundamentals, and work ethic they need to succeed both in sports and in life.

Construction & Project Management

Red Forge Outdoor Builders

My work ethic has also carried into the construction industry.

Since 2015, I have been involved in residential and commercial project management, gaining hands-on experience managing projects, coordinating work, solving problems, and making sure jobs are completed the right way.

For years, owning my own business was something I wanted to accomplish.

Eventually, I decided to step out on faith and build something of my own.

That decision led to the creation of Red Forge Outdoor Builders, LLC.

For me, Red Forge is about more than completing a job. It is about building a company based on reliability, quality work, accountability, and treating every project like it matters.

Whether I am working with an athlete through Locked In Performance or managing a project through Red Forge Outdoor Builders, my approach remains the same.

Show Up. Work Hard. Do Things the Right Way. Keep Building.

I am proud of where the journey has taken me, but I am even more excited about what is still being built.
