* For the past 3 years I have been the starting Center for my high school's Varsity team along with starting Power Forward and Shooting Forward for my other basketball squads. 

* I was a consistent starter with my Competitive Edge AAU team where I play mostly in the paint but also contribute with my outside jump shots.  Our team had a great spring season and were always in the CHIP games.  In the Pittsburgh Under Armour JamFest we won 4 out of 5 games in the Steel City 17U bracket. 

* I am also a starter for my West Philly inter-city Brotha Hood 17U travel team and am the team's highest consistent rebounder. This past spring we played in the 17U Positive Image League in Germantown and the Sonny Hill High School League at Audenreid HS on Tasker St in Phila.

* I volunteer at the Chester County Food Bank on Tuesday nights when I don't have a basketball game, and help out with Meals on Wheels in the Phoenixville PA area. I am a Leo member of our local Lions Club to help with community service projects such as food, clothes and book drives, and read to pre-school children at a local daycare. In high school I am a TA for a CP 9th grade English class and also participate in our yearly Make A Difference Day for cancer awareness to honor my family members suffering with this disease.

* I feel the characteristics I have really worked on is a good and positive attitude on and off the court, hustling the entire game, always listening to my coaches and being a team player. I strive to be consistent and average a double-double with assists for each game.

* I am looking to be a student athlete at a college or university where I can get a great academic education and contribute to the school's competitive basketball program.  I am very interested in pursuing math or chemistry, graduate with a 4 year Bachelor of Science degree and go on to a graduate program.
