Born and raised in San Diego, California, basketball has been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I come from a family of athletes—my brother and sister both played Division I basketball, and I was fortunate to follow a similar path. I earned a basketball scholarship to Boise State, where I competed at the collegiate level and continued to develop my game. After college, I had the opportunity to participate in several NBA tryouts, which opened the door for me to continue my career playing professionally overseas. Those experiences deepened my understanding of the game and gave me a global perspective on basketball. Now, my passion lies in teaching and developing players. There’s nothing more rewarding than helping athletes improve and watching their skills grow, both on and off the court. Basketball gave me so much, and I’m dedicated to passing that on to the next generation.
