Michael

“Stephen and I have been playing basketball together for as long as I can remember, and our relationship has always been built around competition, support, and pushing each other to be better. We’ve challenged each other to reach our greatest abilities, both on and off the court. Stephen has always been someone who refuses to settle and brings that same mindset to the people around him. His passion for basketball, dedication to improvement, and willingness to push others has made him not only a great teammate, but also someone I’ve always looked up to. I’m grateful that we’ve been able to grow, compete, and chase our goals together throughout our lives.” — Michael, Cousin & Lifelong Teammate

“Coach Stephen had a major impact on me during my time playing basketball at Canyon del Oro High School. He helped me develop my skills on the court while also teaching me the importance of discipline, confidence, accountability, and being a good teammate. He always pushed me to get better and challenged me to see the game and myself from a different perspective. What I appreciated most was that he cared about me beyond basketball and wanted to see me succeed in every part of life. I’m grateful for the time, knowledge, and encouragement he invested in me.” — Chase, Canyon del Oro High School Basketball

“Stephen has always been someone who leads by example. As my brother, I’ve had the opportunity to see his dedication to basketball, fitness, leadership, and helping others firsthand. He has a natural ability to encourage people, break things down in a way they can understand, and push them to become better versions of themselves. Whether he’s coaching, training, or simply helping someone work through a challenge, he genuinely cares about their success. I’ve always admired his determination and the way he brings energy and accountability to everything he does.” — Nick

“Stephen has been a huge influence on my development, both as a basketball player and as a coach. He helped me improve my skills, understand the game at a deeper level, and build confidence in myself. Over time, his guidance went beyond basketball and helped me develop as a leader and eventually become a better coach myself. Stephen genuinely cares about the people he works with, and his ability to teach, motivate, and lead has made a lasting impact on me. I’m grateful for everything he has invested in my development.” — Avan

A.J

“Stephen was wonderful with my son A.J. when he was just six years old. He was patient, encouraging, and made learning basketball fun while helping A.J. develop his basic skills and confidence. More importantly, Stephen helped create a genuine excitement and love for the game at such a young age. As a parent, it meant so much to see someone invest their time and energy into helping my son grow, not just as a young basketball player, but as a child. I’m so grateful Stephen was part of the beginning of A.J.’s basketball journey.” — Stephanie, A.J.’s Mom
