I joined CYDC’s BHL program when I was 12 and transitioned to competitive teams the following year. Starting at the development level, through hard work and consistency I found myself on two travel teams and other higher level teams where I was able to meet and learn from several different coaching staffs. I chose to return so that I could impart the work ethic and resilience I gained from basketball (which translated to my studies in engineering and the rest of life) onto the next generation of players as well as my passion for the sport.
