Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I’d describe my gameplay style as a big, aggressive left tackle who brings good footwork to the field and makes smart decisions. I focus on using my size and strength effectively, but I also prioritize technique to ensure I’m providing the best possible protection and support for my team. I have proven to use this playing style to earn First Team All County, and Conejo Coast OL of the year awards.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I’d describe my mentality as highly focused and determined. I’m someone who makes smart decisions, stays resilient in the face of challenges, and never gives up, always pushing forward no matter what comes my way.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

I am involved with my Greek Orthodox Church. I have helped my church by serving in the Altar. I am also apart of the Pan-Cretan Association of America.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I’ve dedicated time and resources to giving back, including donating gifts for Christmas and volunteering within the Newbury Park community and my Greek Orthodox Church. These experiences have strengthened my commitment to service and deepened my connection to my community.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

A significant challenge I faced was when my grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was difficult for me and my family, but it taught me a powerful lesson: if you put your mind to something and stay determined, you can overcome almost anything. This experience has shaped my resilience and strengthened my belief in the power of perseverance.

What type of college are you looking for?

I’m looking for a college that offers a strong balance of athletics and academics. I want a place where I can excel both on the field and in the classroom, with support to reach my full potential in both areas.
