2017-2018 Highlig...2016-17 Highlight...2015-2016 HighlightsPersonal Statement
Work ethic, integrity, organization, time management and leadership are some of the characteristics I will take with me to college. These qualities have been emphasized in my home as long as I can remember. Growing up with a dad who is a coach and a teacher I realize that talent is only one of many factors that determines success. I don't miss any of the extras (lifting, open gym, shoot around) associated with the team. I have been fortunate to be selected All-District All-Area (media) and All-Conference 3 years in a row as well as being selected All-State the last 2 seasons.
Likewise, I take my role in school organizations (STUCO and STEM Club) seriously as well. I believe that this dedication and commitment is why I will be able to contribute to the success of a college basketball program.
