I'm rising up with Emerald Youth to help every child, in every neighborhood to have the opportunity for a full life. Emerald Youth has been serving in the heart of Knoxville for 30 years and helps young people acheive key milestones of development from the elementary grades, through middle and high school, and into young adulthood. All of this with the purpose of producing large cohorts of promising, Godly, young adult leaders. I was first involved with Emerald Youth as an 8th grader, playing football for what was then the "Emerald Falcons." I learned a lot about the game and played it all through high school. I'm grateful for my experience as a child to be involved with Emerald Youth Sports. Without it, I wouldn't be the man I am today or had been as involved in sports as I got older.
