Background about Me:


Basketball has been a foundation for my life. The game has guided me and given me direction for my education choices. Some of my closest friendships and bonds have come through the game.  I have been blessed with opportunities to play college basketball at San Diego Christian College, Foothill JC and now I am finally in my last year of college basketball at UC Berkeley where I will be graduating and getting my degree in May.

In my life I have learned that it is not about the destination but the journey. I have been blessed to have had the desire to play basketball and it has opened up countless opportunities and has led me to achieve my goal of playing division 1 basketball. I know God has had his fingerprints all over my life and has taught me a lot through the ups and downs. After I graduate I would like to serve and give back through the game I love so much. 


When I was offered the opportunity to play the game I love while sharing God's word...it was a no brainer!


Please help me achieve my dream and reach another step in my path.  I really need your help and every little bit will help.


And if you cannot financially support me at this time, I ask that you PLEASE share this link and say a prayer for each person who is serving on this mission.

All donations received to support me are fully tax-deductible.
