Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I'm an unselfish shifty point guard who sees the floor really well. I have a quick first step and I'm not afraid to take over to keep the game from getting out of hand. I'm relentless on defense and pride myself at shutting down a team's leading scorer.

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

I've always been an undersized guard who earned my spot on the floor first through my defense so I'm a hard nosed player who loves a good challenge. Hard work is second nature to me and my exposure to older players (my brother and his best friend) has given me a high basketball IQ. I love the game and all the challenges it brings.

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

I've played club ball since I was in 3rd grade.

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

As a point guard, I pride myself on being a great team player and leading well. I assist my brother in his efforts to give back to the community through his clothing brand.

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

My dad was hospitalized for several months my sophomore year so I had to adjust to a new school, while driving 40 minutes one way to it each day. I made friends, developed good relationships, learned responsibility and developed discipline during this time.
