In addition to his exceptional scholastic accomplishments,
he's the #1 quarterback for San Diego’s #1 ranked high
school football team, the St. Augustine Saints. He's
deciding whether to pursue a sports journalism or finance
degree, which would support his father’s business when he
graduates. With so much on his plate, at such a young age,
he sits down with DyNAMC to tell us how he gets it done.
