Heart, hustle, and humility - always giving his all on and off the court.

I love playing basketball because it’s not only fun, but it also helps me escape everything else for a while. I enjoy the fast pace, the challenge of making shots, and the energy of playing with friends. There’s a great feeling that comes with sinking a basket or setting up a teammate to score. Even when we lose, I still walk away with a smile — just being on the court makes it all worth it.
Family and teammates inspire me both on and off the field. My family gives me constant support, encouragement, and love — they’re my foundation. My teammates push me to work harder, stay focused, and never settle. Their energy and commitment motivate me every day. Together, they shape who I am as both an athlete and a person.
One of the proudest moments in my athletic journey was winning Ballin on the Beach. It’s the biggest tournament in the country and brings together some of the toughest competition, so coming out on top was a huge accomplishment.
