I was born and raised in Morrilton, Arkansas. I grew up in a sports family always surrounded by which sport was in season. At a young age, I played almost every sport I could baseball, basketball, football, and golf. I was close with my family growing up we would travel all around the U.S. for different travel teams. With all the traveling it became apparent that we had to start fundraising for all my traveling expenses to play these sports. Being able to play all those sports made me notice just how different each one is. Not just from how the sports are played but how the players react to adversity. Even though each sport is different they all have one thing in common and it is the need for fundraising. I know through my own sports experiences that teams are only as strong as the support it is given, and I am committed to helping them and organizations reach their goals through the help of Vertical Raise.
