Summary

High level experience with sports, namely the game of basketball, from all levels including grade school, junior high, high school, AAU, Division 1 Collegiate level as well as pro level. Trained an extensive amount of students/athletes on improving their game and their leadership. Played on winning teams my entire life and have experienced the epitome of teamwork and what it takes to be successful. Have over 4 years of experience working in sport administration alone. I firmly believe that sports can be used as a vehicle for success in al facets of life. I have and will always strive to be a hard worker, an excellent communicator and have a positive influence on my colleagues.
