Basketball has been my passion since I was a kid, playing ball in the backyard of my grandparents' house. I can still hear the sound of the chain net when I used to hit mid-range jumpers until the sun went down. It was there I fell in love with the game, rooted in the cracks of the concrete court, where time stood still, the possibilities felt endless, and a devotion grew deep.

I spent every moment I could in that backyard, knocking down buzzer beaters and getting tips from my Grandpa about how to put 'english' on the ball during a layup. Life felt full with a basketball in my hands – Little did I know what doors it would open, the barriers it could break, and just how far 94 feet could stretch. 

Twenty years later, I have touched every level the sport has to offer, whether as a player or a coach. Equipped with a vast knowledge of the sports industry, I am blessed with a clearer vision, ready to advance the game and redefine btoh video and basketball analytics while still enjoying my time on the court.
