I will be attending Lake Superior State University. After a couple of visits and spending time with the team and coaches I felt like it was a good fit for me. The school also offers a variety of programs and I liked the small size and location.

Over the past summer I had the opportunity to travel to places like Las Vegas and Chicago and play the game of basketball. Those two weeks were definitely the highlight of my summer. I had such a blast with my team and I am thankful I had the opportunity to do that with them!
7. What advice do you have for younger basketball players:
My number one advice is work before play. Make your school work your priority and basketball your second priority. Play every day, have fun, work hard and set goals. If you stay focused on your dreams they will come true. Hard work pays off.
