What is your favorite Ultimate Hoops memory?

Just being able to play basketball at a time during this pandemic when all other courts in the area were closed and rims taken down. My hats off to our league coordinators for putting a plan and restrictions in place to keep guys on the court.

What advice would you give to new players joining the league?

Enjoy it! Even though the website has a salary on your player profile, we're not getting paid [laughing]. Your experience will be as good as you make it.

What is your favorite thing to do away from a basketball court?

I enjoy anything hands-on. Home Improvement projects around the house or repairing something on my vehicle.

What part of your game are you trying to improve?

Ha, nothing! My improving my game days are over, just doing my best not to decline.

What motivates you to #KeepPlaying the game?

Love of the game. This ball has taken me all over the country, put me in position to earn an education, and meet some good people along the way. It’s all I know and I owe this game a lot.
