I enjoy playing NBA 2K, visiting art museums, and spending time with my family and friends. My family and I like to cruise a lot and I'm always looking forward to our next cruise.
I also spend my spare time improving my skills by working out at my local YMCA and with my trainer. I try to be consistent and fit time in my schedule to put in
I enjoy playing NBA 2K, visiting art museums, and spending time with my family and friends. My family and I like to cruise a lot and I'm always looking forward to our next cruise.
I also spend my spare time improving my skills by working out at my local YMCA and with my trainer. I try to be consistent and fit time in my schedule to put in work outside of organized team practices. This practice time lets me focus on developing my skills so that I can keep getting better at basketball.
Additionally, I enjoy supporting my fellow peers in their sports. I attend football games, volleyball matches, softball games, soccer matches, and baseball games sitting with the Northwood Nuthouse (student section) cheering on the Chargers.
Giving back to the community is important to me as well. When asked, I take pictures and sign autographs for the community. For the past two years, I have played in the Josh Level Classic Basketball game. This game raises funds (gate fees and concessions) for the Smile for Josh Foundation. This foundation focuses on supporting inner-city youth and making sure that all gyms have AED equipment.
Recently, Northwood established the Northwood Impact Club where our focus is on community service projects in conjunction with the Pittsboro Rotary Club. I am the Vice President of this club.
