Sound Bites

"I had a crazy amazing mother growing up. She took on the world. She had three boys. Me and my younger brother are only 16 months apart. She had her oldest, my older brother diagnosed leukemia at 23 months while she was pregnant with me."

"My dad is my hero. My dad is my best friend, but he wasn't always. And he is today. My dad is an example of what it is to be a man, a father, a husband, and he did it through very challenging times."

"My dad is one of those people I could tell everything. He never was jealous. He never talked down to me. He only lifted me up."

"I lost all my talent, just like in Space Jam."

"I have nerves, which is different. Fear can stop you in your tracks."

"If you match and mirror that upsetness, you're only going to lead to more conflict and frustration for yourself."
