What are your personal goals for the season?

 My personal goals are to become a better all around player, help my team win as many games as possible, and be a leader on the court.

What is the toughest aspect of being a point guard?

 The toughest part is making the right decisions under pressure and getting everyone involved while taking care of the ball.

What is the strength of your game?

 The biggest strength of my game is being able to see the floor and get my teammates the ball when open. 

What's been your most significant moment as an athlete?

 Last year when I had a significant role as a freshman and doing my job every game for the team. 

What's been your toughest moment as an athlete?

 Being injured and having to sit out. 

The 21-22 season was the last time the Green Wave finished above .500. What will it take to change that this season?

 It will take everyone buying in, playing together, working hard every day, and staying committed to our goal of winning.

Who was the best player you faced in a game, and what team was he on?

 Jackson Kirura, Genoa Christian Academy 

What is something that you would like to do in a game but might not have the chance to?

 Hit a game winning shot at the buzzer in a big game.

What is the toughest part of practice?

I would say is staying mentally focused and pushing through when you're tired. It takes discipline to keep giving 100% and doing your job even when you're exhausted.

Which road gym do you find the toughest to play in, and what makes it so challenging?

 Granville was probably the toughest last year having so many people in the gym and having them right on top of you. 

Post anything from the 2025 season that sticks out to you the most. It can be from a practice, a game, or the bus ride to or from the game. Please share any moment that stands out to you.

 After Malvern last year when we won we went all around town and got free donuts from Dunkin. 

Can the fans and cheerleaders affect your game at all?

 It definitely is an obstacle but you have to learn to block out the noise while playing.   

What is your favorite class or subject?

 Honors English. 

Who is your favorite athlete?

 Kobe Bryant is my favorite athlete based off of his gameplay and work ethic.

Have you ever gone to any games at Denison?

 No I have not.
