Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I’m a versatile big who can dominate in the paint and knock down outside shots with confidence. At 6'6", I use my size and timing to protect the rim, crash the boards, and finish strong. I play with high energy, make smart plays, and stretch the defense with my shooting range.

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

I try to lead through action and attitude, by putting in extra work and holding myself to a high standard every day. I take pride in being a vocal presence on the court, encouraging my teammates, and staying locked in during tough moments. My drive, discipline, and commitment to constant improvement reflect a leadership style built on accountability and a strong work ethic.

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

Yes, I'm actively involved in Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), where I focus on leadership, character, and community service. I also volunteer with Special Olympics, supporting and encouraging athletes with disabilities, which has helped me grow in empathy, patience, and leadership off the court.

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

As an athlete, I’ve developed strong leadership and teamwork skills by leading through example, strong communication, and uniting my teammates toward a common goal. My involvement with FCA and Special Olympics has instilled in me the values of service, humility, and using my platform to positively impact others.

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

In 2024, I faced a significant challenge with a root tear in my meniscus. However, I committed myself to an intense rehab process, putting in countless hours of work to regain strength and mobility. My dedication and resilience allowed me to return to the game I love, stronger both physically and mentally, with an even greater appreciation for the game and my journey.

What type of college are you looking for?

I’m looking for a college that values both athletic & academic excellence, where I can grow as a player & a person. I want to be part of a program that fosters a competitive, team-oriented environment. I’m seeking a school that offers strong coaching, a commitment to player development, & a culture that encourages hard work, discipline, & continuous improvement. Division I, Division II, NAIA.
