I have been playing basketball since I was four years old. I played division one basketball in college all four years. I went to UNC Chapel Hill and then transferred to Rutgers. I was on the Big Ten second team both seasons and I broke the record for most rebounds in the Big Ten Tournament. I have worked youth camps through out my whole college career and would love to get the chance to help influence kids and get them better at the game!
