Basketball

Basketball’s been my journey as long as I can remember — a core part of who I am, on the court and off. I’m a team-first guard: my job is getting everyone going, and building my teammates’ confidence builds mine. My IQ is my secret sauce — reading the defense, feeling which guy needs the ball or a lift, putting us in the right spot. I love being part of a team and watching us win together. I’m a competitor, I want it bad, and the work right now is leading when we’re not winning.

Builder

HoopWrld is everything I love in one place — the game, the grind of getting better, and my passion for business, marketing, and design. It started as a way to help myself develop, and became a way to help other people too. I designed the brand and built the products — and it’s real, and growing.

Creative

I’m a visual thinker — art is how I process everything: school, the game, the stuff I care about. It shows up everywhere: conceptual pieces, portraits, characters, products I design, and the brand I built. I’ve been making and selling what I design since I was ten, when I started a LEGO jewelry business. It’s how I learn, how I deal with life, and where I put it all — and I know it’ll always be part of me.
