What is your earliest basketball memory? Watching the Golden Gusties play as my parents worked the game at the score table. I found a love for the game at such a young age.

If I could change one basketball rule, it would be: The ruling of an assist - if the player scores following the pass, regardless of how they score - the passer should be rewarded with an assist
This summer, I: took two kinesiology courses. One I had the opportunity to work with children in the Adapted Fitness program at the Natatorium.

I assisted with training programs from athletes looking to improve their performance to older individuals working towards a healthy lifestyle.
Is there something significant about your uniform number? I'm oddly obsessed with 3's and 7's… It's a weird and unexplainable peculiarity of mine.
