Work History

Founder

"My Turn" Foundation
01.2024 - Current

I am the CEO of the "My Turn" Foundation I mentor the youth in the surrounding areas. The plan is to host an annual Fishing Day in the spring and a basketball camp in the Fall which will allow me to donate to the youth Programs. I will use this platform to provide resources on becoming successful Athletic Scholars. The camps will eventually branch out to community service, study sessions, and a Podcast that will highlight the positivity in our community. I recently started a Foundation called, “My Turn,” in which I recognize kids that are outstanding in Athletics and Academics each year. I hope to expand this foundation with great intentions to offer scholarships to college student in need of financial support. There are many talented kids that lack leadership and knowledge to pursue their dreams.
