About me
I grew up in Lyngby which is a town very close to Copenhagen. My family consists of my mother, Inge, father, Jens and big brother, Jacob. As a family we are very close. My mother and father worked their way up the ladder and became successful. This is something I strive for, shown in how much work I put into basketball. I have always been the person that would stay long hours in the gym making my jumpshot “perfect”. I am very competitive always wanting to go outside my comfort zone to become a better player and person. This gives me the opportunity to thrive where I could fail. I have played in all the best danish youth league and now the best men’s league. I now seek to fulfill one of my biggest goals in playing College Basketball. Basketball has always been a huge part of my life. It all began when I moved to the States at 9 years old. I had always played soccer, but no one seemed to be very good at it, so I chose to try basketball. I immediately found out that the competition was a lot better, and quickly grew fond of the game. This is what grew into a love and a passion to become the best.
Hope this has caught some of your interest, and that you will continue reading.

Basketball summary
When I moved back to Denmark at the age of 12 I continued playing and to develop as a player. Very quickly basketball became all that I would think and dream about, going to the gym everyday it became my obsession. At the age of 16 my team won The Cup and later came to win the National title.
After that year I choose to go to boarding school for a year because we would have the chance to qualify for the school world championships. When we won the tournament and qualified, we where going to Cyprus for 2 weeks, to play against all the other nations. Sadly we finished 7th because we lost on a buzzer beater game winner. The year at boarding school taught me a lot of things, it matured me and showed me how to take care of myself. Alongside of being able to develop my game all day because the gym was always available. Then I came back to my home town to continue playing basketball at my old club.
This coming year (U18) I had even more success averaging over 24 point the whole season and winning the national title again. Later I was selected for the U18 national team and went to both the Nordic Championship and European Championship.
The U19 season was the bigger breakthrough so far in my career where we went to the Scania Cup tournament which is only for the very best teams in the Nordic part of europe. At this tournament I became the player to score most points (24 ppg.) which was tough because it was 8x4 minute quarters. Later in our season in Denmark, our team won the national title once again where I averaged over 30 ppg. At the age of 20 I chose to play in the best men’s league in Hoersholm, where I wanted to meet the best competition in Denmark. I had a very successful year playing for the 4th best team in Denmark where I averaged 15 minutes per game. This upcoming season I will be playing in Stevnsgade Copenhagen which lies in the heart of Copenhagen. This team will be a great opportunity for me to dominate more, and have a more significant role on the team.
