Summary

For as long as I can remember, my life was defined by relentless performance and achievement. From declaring my dreams at the age of five to playing college ball at Vanderbilt, I constantly chased excellence—believing that every basket I shot and every weight I lifted proved my worth. Yet, no matter how much I accomplished, I never felt I had truly arrived. Growing up in a deeply involved church family, I heard a message from a pastor that changed everything: that my value comes not from my achievements but from Jesus’ unfailing love. That revelation set me on a path to live ‘Second’—not for my own glory, but to serve and mentor young men who face similar pressures. Today, I share my testimony so that others will know that true identity and lasting freedom are found in Him.
