Basketball has been a passion of mine for a long time; from playing with my friends to spending hours outside working on my skills. It's always been basketball. As a player I pride myself in being able to shut people down on defense. My defensive abilities are one of the results of my strong work ethic. Academics is also one of my strong suits. I've made good grades through all of my schooling so far; and that is something I plan to keep a part of me all the way through college. My goal is to study construction management and start my own business one day. My work ethic is a skill that has helped me inside and out of basketball thanks to my parents and most of all my faith in the Lord. My relationship with Jesus Christ has been the only reason i have improved as a player. God says in his word to do everything with your all of your heart soul and mind. That is my driving force that helps me push through the tough things when others would have been tempted to give up.
