Biography
What a ride it has been for the 34-year-old to have made a name for himself in South Australian basketball and now bang down the door for his first opportunity in the NBL at the Adelaide 36ers.
Having grown up in Miami, Florida, he completed his college career at Bethune-Cookman University and then made the move down under to begin his professional career and has never looked back.
He has shown himself to be a tremendous athlete, brilliant rebounder and someone who can impact games in so many ways through his length and energy, and aside from a Big V season in 2015 at the Warrnambool Seahawks, it's all been done in South Australia.
He started at the Woodville Warriors where he won his first Premier League MVP award and took his team to a championship.
He then led the Southern Tigers to a championship in 2016, was named league MVP again in 2018 and then teamed up with 36ers legend and current assistant coach, Scott Ninnis, to win another title at South Adelaide in 2022 where he was also Grand Final MVP.
Has become a naturalised citizen along the way and he just banged down the door to earn this deserved opportunity to play in the NBL for the first time.
