Balancing my passion for basketball with my mission to give back is at the heart of my journey at UofL.”

The person with the greatest influence on his athletic career is his dad
Outside of basketball, he enjoys film making, traveling, listening to old music

He chose to attend UofL because: “It offered me a unique opportunity to make a significant impact both on and off the court. The chance to play for coaches I already knew and deeply respected was incredibly compelling. Having previously followed their guidance and played alongside some of my old teammates, I felt a strong sense of continuity and support. This familiarity eased my transition but also motivated me to contribute to the team's success. I am excited to bring my passion and skills to UofL, where I can build on my previous experiences and work towards creating meaningful change within the team and the broader community.”
