"Don’t ever let somebody tell you, you can’t do something
Not even me. You got a dream, you gotta protect it.
People can't do something themselves
They wanna tell you that you can’t do it
You want something, go get it. Period"

I was born and raised in Northern Michigan, always taught how to have respect for others and work to be well respected. I grew up in Rapid City/Kalkaska, going to Rapid City Elementary untill 5th grade when i had to go to Kalkaska for middle school. Ever since, I have been going to Kalkaksa. I'm a senior and on track to graduate this year with more than enough credits. I've always been big on family and tend to spend much time with them. They have been a big help in my life along with my girlfriend Emma Dunham, helping me through times that I thought were to hard to continue. For almost 2 years now, I have visisted a couple doctors in Kalkaska/Traverse City area and over 7 specialists down at the University Of Michigan. I have went on for months at a time with them saying I had anything from Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, to Charcot Marie Tooth disease. now they are almost sure that I have a rare autoimmune disease called Myocitis. It has been a rough time but with the support of my family and friends, they have helped me through it.
