Basketball has shaped my life — and now my mission is to help shape the next generation of young hoopers.

I was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles, California, where my journey with basketball began at a young age. From AAU competition to varsity basketball as a freshman, the game quickly became more than just a sport; it became a discipline, a structure, and a purpose.

After transferring to Birmingham High School in Lake Balboa, I had the privilege of playing under Coach Andre McCarter — a former UCLA standout who played under the legendary John Wooden and was later drafted into the NBA. Under his mentorship, I developed not only my scoring ability and basketball IQ, but a deep understanding of how the game should be taught.

By my junior and senior seasons, I was ranked among the top players in the Los Angeles CIF Section and finished my high school career ranked #45 in the state of California. I earned multiple All-Star selections, Player of the Month honors, and helped lead championship teams throughout my career.

I continued my playing career at Los Angeles Pierce College, where I averaged 16.7 points and 9.4 assists per game as a freshman point guard, helping lead the program to its first semifinal playoff run. I later transferred to UCLA, joining the Bruins during their Final Four season.

But while my playing career shaped me, coaching is where I found my calling.

Today, I serve as a youth basketball coach in Central Texas, leading championship teams in the Leander Youth Basketball League and working as a select coach with the nationally recognized Brandy Perryman Shooting Camp. My coaching philosophy is rooted in fundamentals, accountability, and confidence-building.
