Bio

What is your major?

Biblical Studies.

When did you start playing basketball?

When I was in 8th grade

What is your favorite sports team and/or player?

Fellow Wyomingite Larry Nance Jr. who plays for the Los Angles Lakers.

Highlight of your sports career?

Being recruited to play football in Colorado or playing college basketball with my sister. 

What type of growth have you seen in yourself through your years of playing?

Understanding my role and being more of a leader on the court. Bringing the energy each and every night. Setting the tone defensively.

Name the individual who has impacted you the most in your playing career, and how they influenced you.

Dusty Shockley, he is a long time coach back home in Wyoming and basically my second dad. He was and still has a huge influence in my life, he brought me to my faith in Jesus Christ. Always there for, most selfless man I know. Really helped me improve my game and make it to the college level!

Favorite passage of Scripture and why?

“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet.  You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let

your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven."  Matthew 5:13–16. Its a good reminder that we (Christians) cannot disappear with our faith. We were put here on this earth to worship our Lord and Savior and spread His love and Word to all those who are lost.
