Harris will try and tell anybody that will listen that he is a 5x flag football champion, notched a triple double in an intramural basketball game while a resident at the University of Iowa, and is an excellent bhangra dancer. If you don’t believe him, he says he has the videos to prove it.
He currently is active in playing flag football, and also enjoys weight lifting as well as practicing jiu-jitsu. You may find him playing football at Plano West HS on Sunday mornings as well as rolling at Gracie Jiu Jitsu Euless during the week.
He enjoys documenting, and sharing his own video content to inspire others to continue their athletic endeavors for a lifetime! Check out the links below if interested in seeing Harris in action:
