Join the CompetitionHe loves the relationships he builds through sports and the chance to compete with others who share his goals. He enjoys pushing himself to new limits, challenging himself, and working toward new goals. While failure can be tough, he sees it as part of the journey—and finds it incredibly rewarding when success comes after the struggle. For him, sports are about growth, connection, and becoming the best version of himself.
His biggest inspiration on and off the field is his older sister. She’s always been his biggest supporter and role model. She’s shown him how to set goals, work hard to achieve them, and how to stay strong through challenges. Watching her push through struggles and never give up has taught him to do the same. Her determination, resilience, and leadership continue to motivate him every day.
His proudest moment was getting to play in the Nike Jr EYBL Peach Jam, one of the biggest stages in youth basketball, and then being selected as one of the top 16 players in Michigan to represent the state in the Future Games for baseball, all within 10 days. Competing at that level in both sports, back-to-back, was an incredible experience and a moment he’ll never forget. It showed him what’s possible when you work hard and believe in yourself.
