Athletic Bio:
I am a 6’2 true floor general, and I am often documented as a “pass first point guard”. My family moved to another part of the city my junior year and I transferred to Brookfield Central High School, the number 1 team in the state of Wisconsin. I attended Wauwatosa West High School previously, where I split time between varsity and JV as a sophomore.
Transferring to a State Championship team taught me a lot about preparation, perseverance, and patience. I received limited minutes and was the consummate team player. The summer leading up to my junior year I played for an organization named the ABC Lions, where I started at the point guard position and I held an average of 10 points and 8 assists per game. Currently, I am working out with professionals (overseas players) as well as college athletes. Competing against them daily has really helped improve my game. Playing college basketball has been a dream of mine since I can remember, and I will continue to work hard to make this dream a reality.
