301-***-**** *******************@*****.***
A proud native of the DMV, I grew up in Largo, MD, and attended DeMatha Catholic High School from 1994 to 1998. As a two-year varsity basketball player, I played a key role in winning the WCAC and City Title Championship in 1998.
I continued my basketball career at Niagara University from 1998 to 2002 before embarking on an eight-year professional career overseas, competing in the Netherlands, Finland, and Poland. After retiring in 2010 and welcoming the birth of my daughter, I returned home to focus on developing the next generation of athletes.
In 2012, I served as a scout for the Atlanta Hawks during the 2012-2013 NBA season. Since then, I have dedicated my career to training and mentoring basketball players, founding GreeneLight Shooting, a premier basketball training company, and launching a nonprofit organization in 2022 to support athletes and their families.
I am deeply committed to guiding young athletes on and off the court. I believe my purpose is to help student-athletes reach their full potential, instilling in them the values of discipline, hard work, and perseverance.
