Basketball
Since I was a little kid, basketball has always been a big part of my life. I still remember the times when I was little playing against my brother in our gravel driveway. This game has brought me many memories throughout my life and this page is a chance for me to show what it all means to me.

Ben Simmons
After my first year in Asia, I had the opportunity to be a part of a Nike Rise event where Ben Simmons came over to 广州 and held a mini-camp for aspiring high school athletes. I was able to help lead them through a practice alongside Ben Simmons where the players got to run through drills and ask questions about his career.
Giannis Antetokounmpo
Coming off his first MVP season, Giannis and his brother Thanasis came over to 苏州 to compete in the 2018 FIBA World Championships. During their time here, Nike and Tencent held a practice for their highest level athletes to be aired on Tencent’s web series “24 Seconds of Youth.”
Coaching in Asia
The best and most fulfilling experiences that I have had by far and long have been interacting with the kids on my team. No matter the ages of the kids, from 5 all the way up to 18, I have built relationships that will last a lifetime. I know that they have taught me far more about life than I will ever be able to teach them in basketball. Competing and even winning some games, competitions, and even tournaments has just been the icing on the cake for me.
Clinics
Basketball has given me the chance to travel the world and back again. It has been an incredible journey and one of the greatest parts has been doing clinics to be able to pass along what I know to the next generation of players. Here are a few of my favorite clinics below.
