Born 1983 in Evanston Il. The Oldest of 4 siblings,  I fell in love with basketball in the 3rd grade. I would spend all my free time at MasonPark, just trying to make every shot I could, My basketball journey stared at age 8 when I joined the youth summer league. From that time forward I played in any and every form of organized basketball available.

 My freshman year of high-school, I was fortunate to make the Junior varsity team at Raleigh Egypt High-school. I would eventually move to Richmond Virgina, and play Varsity basketball for Highland Springs High-school. I was offered a scholarship from Oral Robert's University, which I turned down to join the U.S. Airforce.

 In my time as a player I was blessed to be taught by coaches who would go on to join the hall of Fame.

Now as a coach myself, I strive to share the same knowledge and skills that allowed me to experience success both on and off the court.
