I have been a hard-working student and athlete since the beginning. I've been consistent with making good grades since elementary up until now. I've always tried to work hard in football and basketball. The coaches that have worked with me over the years have stated that I am a very coachable kid and enjoy working with me. I have been active in my church since I was a young boy. Some of my church activities have included singing with the youth choir and with the men's choir as I got older; an alcolyte ; usher; greeter; chaplain of the youth group; assisted in the children's nursery; cub scout. My youth group was actively involved in community service activities like Adopt A Street cleanup, visiting seniors at nursing homes and the sick and shut-in and singing to them, Urban Ministry Food Drives and going to shelters to feed the homeless. I love playing basketball and have always dreamed of playing at the collegiate level. I work hard, play hard and don't mind constructive criticism because it motivates me to push harder. I know that I can be a great asset to a team that needs a big man that is defensively minded and have a good offensive skill set. I was selected Honorable Mention-All Area and First Team All Conference. I am ready for next challenge!
