I have been playing football since I was in the 3rd grade. When I got into Junior High, my Little All-American team took first place all 3 yrs. As a freshman in high school, my freshman team at East High School in Des Moines, IA went 8-0..first time ever for the school as a freshman class. I was also promoted to the Varsity and JV (Junior Varsity) squad. For my freshman team I was a slotback or flanker/half back...for varsity I was only the flanker. We didn't do very well for the first 3 yrs when I was on the varsity squad but that all changed when I was a senior in the 1989-1990 football season. We won our conference and went 7-1. Made it to the second round of playoff's and lost. But it was the first time in school history that we made it into the playoff's. I was rewarded with 1st team all conference as a WR and as DB. And made it to the second team all-state. Earned a scholarship to the University of Northern Iowa and played 3 seasons until I blew out my knee. I played with the likes of Kenny Shedd (Jets and Raiders), Kurt Warner (Iowa Barnstormers-arena football-, St. Louis Rams, NY Giants and currently w/ the Arizona Cardinals) and James Jones (Cleveland Browns and Detroit Lions). My fastest time in the 40 was 4.21.

I also ran track all 4 yrs in high school. Fastest 100 meter time ever was 10.9. Primarily a sprinter for 100m and 200m and was the starter for the relay events 4x100 and 4x200. Fastest 4x100 time was 41.99..fastest 4X200 time was 1:28..
