Otey’s Favorite Things

legos

Otey really enjoys Legos. He and his brothers spend time creating worlds out of Legos and playing together for hours. He has also graduated to more elaborate sets such as a massive titanic set, which is his pride and joy. Otey is a founding member of a Lego Club in our town and loves helping to pick themed builds and encourage his club mates. 

Soccer

Otey loves his favorite sports, soccer and jujitsu. Since he was four years old, he has played on the soccer team in our hometown that his dad coaches. As his talent progressed, he earned the spot as goalie, but also loves to play all positions. Otey has a new love and talent for jujitsu. He started practicing a year ago and has developed a passion for competing. He has made lifelong friends playing sports and leaves his heart on the mat and the field!
