Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

A coach gets a kid that goes 100% all the time. Games, practice, warm-ups. I am a true point guard with a win first mentality. I have the tools to be a top recruit. And not just physical tools, but mental as well. Currently, I am a freshman starting on a class five state contending high school team. And I truly believe I’m one of the top five kids in my state if not at the top for PGs.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

You will not meet anyone who wants to win more than me and puts the work in when nobody’s watching. I am super strong mentally. And I am also a great teammate. I’m very coachable and I’ve learned to be liked by the referees which means I don’t complain on the court no matter what the call is.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

I go to a Christian school and I was picked as a freshman to be a small group leader. Which means I lead my peers at school in the Christian setting. I have been awarded lots of things like student of the week, athlete of the week, favorite coach to the little kids and many more.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

Outside of basketball skills, my dad is in real estate and I’m involved in looking at apartment investing, building homes, and all things real estate. I like to be involved in my dad‘s community service with homeless people, kids, clubs and food pantries.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

Making the next great team. I had goals to start my first year high school and I achieve that as a freshman. I had goals to make the top AAU team in Kansas City and I did that. As an eighth grader on the under Armour circuit, I average 19pts 5a 4r 5 steals. I think my biggest challenge is coaches look at 6'5 kid and don’t realize a 5'9 kid w size 13 feet is the better future prospect.
