PERSONAL STATEMENT
Every time I step on the court I step on with a focused mentality. I believe that no one can stop me from doing what I want to do and succeeding not just on the court but off as well by being a student athlete first. This confidence and determination comes from knowing how much preparation I put into academics and the game I love, basketball.

PERSONAL INFORMATION
 
Describe Your Playing Style?: I am a traditional point guard with the mentality of pass first. I thrive off getting my team involved. Though I love passing, I can score at will when needed. With the speed I have and my ability to change speeds keeping the defender off balance while making quick reads. Defense and energy are my foundation to get the team and myself in rhythm. I am an extension of the coach when playing always communicating and putting my teammates in the positions they need to be successful.

Favorite Athlete(s) and why?: My favorite athletes are Steve Nash and Stephen Curry. I admire the way Steve Nash made the players around him look. He made a good player look like a great player. Stephen Curry is another one of my favorite players, he was so underrated and despite the odds he pushed through and now is arguably one of the best players in the NBA. He is a great role model. Both play a very smooth and under control game with a very high basketball IQ for the game, it is rare for them to ever force anything, but instead let the game come to them.
Other activites and interests: Life outside of basketball for me consists of spending time with my family, mountain biking, air soft, camping, snowboarding, traveling and just relaxing.
About Me: A very passionate and grateful person. I love to have fun, laugh and enjoy life. I am constantly looking for ways to help and give to others around me. I am a hard worker that will go above and beyond to help someone else. This has also taught me that hard work pays off therefor I will always put forth the effort, time and energy to reach my goals.
