Fixated on Understanding Cultures

I am a bonafide travel addict. Traveling the globe has been my most valuable learning resource. I hope to share my experiences and inspire others to explore and learn from different cultures.

Focused On Improving

I’ve been fortunate to visit nearly 70 countries, living for periods of time in China, Ireland, Cyprus, Brazil, and Guatemala. Some of the best moments are capturing greatness when situations don’t appear to offer much. My hope is to always use free time traveling and absorbing all the world has to offer.

Opportunities in Basketball

After finishing up school, I trained in Nicosia followed by a move to Belfast for work with a non-profit organization called PeacePlayers International. During those two years I played for Lisburn Star, a basketball club that competed around all of Ireland. When time permitted, I conquered a good portion of Europe.

After five years spent completing my MBA and working in higher education, the urge to get abroad led me to Brazil for two incredible months during the 2014 World Cup. From there I secured a new coaching opportunity in China in a few different capacities with the NBA. The bulk of our work was implementing grassroots programs in conjunction with Yao Ming in both Beijing and Shanghai. But we also did several other camps, clinics, and events around the country to continue improving the game. In my free time, I maximized the opportunity to explore the rest of Asia.
