University of Illinois Springfield Athletics

- Why did you choose UIS

I chose UIS because of how it fit within both my academic and athletic goals that I set for myself. 
 

- How did you get your start in (sport)

I first started participating in basketball when in 4K YMCA youth basketball.

- Why do you continue to play (sport)

I continue to play basketball because of both my love for the game and the importance of competing a journey that I started years ago.  Basketball has played a huge role in molding me into the young man I am today.

- How do you manage your time 

I keep a daily planner (with constant reminders)  on my phone to let me know when and where I have my next important commitment.

- Any pre-game rituals

Watching TicTok and the 3 dunks I do in warm ups.

- What events do you participate in on campus other than basketball

I participate in UFB, member of the National Society of Leadership.  Also a member of the men’s track team. 
 

- Career goals

I intend to pursue a career that adheres to either my major (Business Administration) or one of my 3 minors (Finance, Marketing, and Criminal Justice).

- What do you want people to know about you that they may not know already 

One thing I want people to know is that I couldn’t be in the position that I’m at without the help of my coaches, teachers, family, and friends.  They all took the time to put their own resources into me and I couldn’t be any more thankful for the opportunities they helped me achieve.?
