“I approach life in a similar vein that resembles my style of playing as an athlete with passion, competitiveness, and love. I accept life's challenges as expected obstacles either to be knocked down or shed in order to accomplish the task at hand. I am passionate in mentoring youth and creating young men for the future, very strong in my Christian faith and give all the thanks and glory to God. I thank my mom and dad for making me the young man I am today. I have been blessed to have great mentors along the way to guid me threw the road of life, Sean Loomer Head High School football coach, Doug Williams head football coach at GSU, Victor Santa Cruz head coach at APU, and my older brother Michael Hardiman. I take each day one step at a time and always give thanks for the blessings I have.”
