Basketball has always been more than a game to me it’s been a platform to grow, to lead, and to prove that hard work and faith can overcome any obstacle. And a place I use that helps me reflect throughout my life outside of basketball, I currently play at Lake Travis High School, where I strive to lead by example both on and off the court. From early morning workouts to late night study sessions, I’ve learned to embrace the grind because nothing worth earning comes easy.

As a freshman playing for the Texas Lions Academy, I was honored to be named TCAL All-State 5A, a recognition that reminded me how much can be achieved through discipline, focus, and a relentless drive to improve. But I’m not satisfied. What motivates me every day is the opportunity to prove people wrong to rise above doubt and show that belief, effort, and purpose can take you farther than talent alone. Faith is the foundation of who I am. It keeps me grounded, fuels my perseverance, and reminds me to stay humble in success and resilient in failure. I take pride in doing the unseen work, encouraging my teammates, and competing with intensity and respect always aiming to be the kind of player every coach can count on.
