Quarterback Training Designed for Each Individual's  Needs

My Story

Experienced Coaching Professional

      My hometown is Mediapolis, Iowa. A small town in the Southeast corner of Iowa about 45 minutes from Iowa City. I grew up throwing a football with dreams of playing for the Chicago Bears. No one where I came from got the opportunity to play Division I football much less play for the Bears. With that, no one really believed it was possible and to be honest I doubted it myself.

     I was fully committed to winning and with that came a lot of work, even more playing, and eventually touchdowns. My Senior season was cut short the game before the State Championship when I suffered my first ACL injury. Even so, I was very fortunate to earn a scholarship to Kansas State. I rehabbed and competed for the starting spot. In August 2015 I won the job  as a RS Sophmore and was going to get my first start since 2012 when I tore my ACL. First play of the first game, I run a designed run up the middle and to the left and boom. I was starting over again. I had torn my ACL yet again in the same knee. At this time I had a lot of talks in my own head to decide if I wanted to risk a 3rd time. Why would next time be any different? Well I decided to come back and finish what I started. I rehabbed again and won the starting job again.

       In the 5th game of my Junior season against OU I rolled out and was tackled on my throwing shoulder. I had a grade 3 AC separation. In other words my collarbone was pointing up at 45 degrees. For the rest of the season I was able to numb it before the games and get by until postseason surgery. My first season finished at 9-4. Heading into my Senior season I was mentally and physically ready to finally show what a healthy me could do. In the 4th game against Baylor, I made a cut and felt a small pop in my knee. It was nothing painful but led to a lot of swelling. I got with trainers and rehabbed it accordingly. Little did I know my next game against Texas would be my final collegiate game. In the second quarter as I was running my knee had an intense crunch. I had a Cartilage fracture (OCD). My femur and tibia hit together where I had no meniscus and essentially broke the cartilage away from my bone. 

       I didn't get my dream season but I did have interest from NFL scouts and had private workouts with several teams. Ultimately, I went undrafted and in May 2018 went to Rookie Camp with the New Orleans Saints as a Free Agent. I didn't get a contract. Two months later I was offered to play 3 years in the AAF Alliance of America football league. As appealing as it was to get another chance to play. It was time to move on. I accepted a job with Arthrex, a medical device company, and now get to help many people including athletes like myself. 

       If there was one obvious that I took from my experience it would be that we are much more capable of doing things we don't allow ourselves to believe. I was a 3 star recruit who had 60 quarterbacks ranked ahead of him. I overcame multiple severe injuries. When It was all said and done, I couldn't have told you where the top 10 guys in my class played. If only I knew then what I know now.
