Jovan Perez, a voice like an angel and a sincerity like one as well. It was a pleasure learning about his young musical journey from zero budgeted YouTube videos at the young spry age of 11 to now amassing close to 250k subs on Youtube. It has been a treat watching his career slowing grow. I hope to any hopeful musician apprehensive about taking that leap and going for your passion to use Jovan's story to show you the doubts are inevitable and there is much risk but you can never deny what makes you truly happy. Go check out Jovan's music on YouTube and on Instagram @jovan_perez. IG: @futureflowin

Nick Proctor, not only a crafty hardball pitcher for the UC Berkley Golden Bears but also a standout man with humble beginnings. Nick's path to PAC-12 baseball began when he rode the bench on his Freshman High School team. Nick had a realization that for him to continue competing at the best level for the game he loved, he needed to make changes. Going into his Junior season, Nick's preparation and dedication elevated. Detailed hard work lifted Nick to not only be one of the best High School Players on his team, but in the entire Northern California.

Reid Sinnett, a class act and a future QB in the NFL. Reid was generous to share the beginnings of his football career and the lessons learned along the way. Since High School Football in Johnston, Iowa, Reid has always embraced the 'underdog' persona. He was never riveted by top college programs and engrossed with great ratings, yet he carried on with quiet confidence. Even when he joined the football team at USD, he was not given the keys until his final season as a redshirt senior. Reid salvaged every second of his 2019 campaign. He lit it up in the Pioneer Football League. This past winter, Reid has been training in hopes to be drafted onto an NFL roster come April. The question with Reid is not 'If' , he's proven he can. It is a matter of 'When'. Please follow our Instagram @futureflowin
