Color Analyst @ National Basketball Association (NBA)

About

I was a dual-sport athlete, playing volleyball and basketball at the Division II level in college. My first love has always been basketball and I have worked meticulously hard for 10+ years to get to where I am today in my career. There is so much value in being in the gym, at events and around players on a consistent basis. Now that I cover the NBA Draft specifically, it all starts at the high school and AAU level. I love the relationships and friendships I've built over the years and I love following a player's path from high school, to college and finally realizing their dream and making the NBA and writing about their journey along the way.
