I define myself as a:
Team Captain - first for my family then my friends. I try to be a leader, a positive role model, an athlete, and coach
Cancer Survivor - surviving cancer defines me, it was a Turning Point in my life and it fuels everything that I do
Dreamer - I believe in having dreams and following them with a Team in tow. Everyone was put on this earth for a unique purpose and it would be a shame to not push yourself to find out what exactly that is

In my opinion there are 5 keys to live by:
1) Find your Team - everyone needs a support network in life as you traverse victories and failures... you need to define the team members that will play a part in your life
2) Identify your Turning Point - this is critical as it defines what will fuel your dreams and ambitions... everyone has defining moments in their life where a significant change occurs which alters your trajectory. Search for it, it's there. This is your fuel. Identify it and use it
3) Set Goals - although goals may change over time if you don't give yourself an idea of where you want to go, you'll never get there
4) Never give up & Learn from Mistakes - it's okay to fail, but learn from it. Whatever you do don't stop fighting and when needed reach out to your Team for support
5) Finish what you start - My favorite thing to say is "it's easy, just don't stop!" Above all else just don't stop... you'll finish!
