ABOUT ME

I believe that my basketball experience has prepared me well enough to move onto the next level and for me to progress in my career, both on and off the court. Basketball has been a focus of mine for the past 5-6 years of my life now, and my passion for the sport is growing exponentially. Basketball itself and being a part of the basketball community especially here in the UK has helped me grow and mature into the man I am today. Basketball has been like a best friend to me, it has always been there through the multiple challenges faced in my life. 

I am a versatile player at 6’7 who brings energy both on and off the floor. I am able to space the floor as well as use my size down low. In addition to this I have developed great court vision to always find the right shot for the team. Being someone who hates losing, I take pride in my defense and do whatever I can to win games. I also believe that it is important to make the coaches job as easy as possible in order to create a positive healthy environment to win games continuously. 

Being at Barking Abbey has taught me the necessary skills to be the best student athlete possible, learning how to manage my time and organize my life with a demanding education during the season. 

Living in the USA for the first time on my own has been a great experience for me, playing basketball overseas and as well as learning a slightly different way of life.
