WHY  I  AM  DIFFERENT  FROM  MOST  PLAYERS

This  is my third year of professional experience.  I have been on teams where I have played 40mins and I have also been on teams where I have not played that much.  And through this experience I have learned to get the most out of each minute.  I have played on teams with All-stars, and I have also been an All-star.  The most important thing is my Love for the Game because none of the accolades really matter if I lose my Love in the process.  And if I don’t give 110 percent, every time I step on the floor, not only am I short changing my coaches, and my team-mates, but I am short changing a Game, that never short changed me.

Player Profile

Born: March 24, 1981

Originally from Chicago, Illinois

Height 6’2

Weight. 175pds.  15percent body fat

Position:  I can score from the two, three and the four. 

I’m a great athlete who can get up and down the court…leaping ability, rebounding, and aggressiveness are my key attributes.  I can defend at each position with authority. I am often given the job of defending the opposition’s most potent offensive perimeter or inside player.

My  spectacular timing and leaping ability ensures that I get more than my fair share of offensive rebounds or at worst I am able to keep the ball alive allowing my team mates more offensive opportunities.

I am an unselfish, team-orientated player with a great work ethic, which sits alongside an insatiable desire to win, that means that I always give 110%.  I am a great person whose style of play makes me a firm favorite with fans, coaches and my teammates.

Off the Court

I spend my time working with kids, mentoring and tutoring in English.

I graduated from Georgetown University with a Major in English and a minor in Theology in 2003.  I was on the honor roll all four years.  And I am a Big East Scholar Athlete.
