A little bit about me

My name is Christian currently working, managing a local hardware store. I coached for the Youth Football league for 5 years. I played football and did track in my high school years. I love playing and speaking about anything that has to do with sports. I got my first job at 12 years old working in a restaurant washing dishes and prepping salads and desserts so you can say I always been a little ambitious. As a kid I helped my mother raised my siblings since the day they were born and I'm glad that I did because it gave me a better understanding on how to take care of a child.
