"The strength of my leg helps me. I don't have to put everything into the longer field goals. I can still focus on consistency at longer distances."
"I generate more power for kicking thanks to my height (6 ft - 5.75 inches). The tip speed of my toe is roughly 12-15% more than a kicker with a leg six inches shorter than mine."
“I have built a successful career as a Nuclear Engineer, but I still have a passion and desire to pursue a career as an NFL player. I welcome the opportunity to showcase my kicking talents for any NFL team.”
