I was born in Austin Texas on 09/11/06. I live in round rock Texas and I go to hutto high school. Growing up my parents introduced me to basketball at an early age. But I didn’t start out too good, when I was 8 I was nervous and scared when I was on the court. So my parents decided I wasn't going to play aau but the love for basketball was still there. So as time went on I was steadily improving until 6th grade when I got to play on the 7th grade team for my middle school and that’s when the competitiveness started growing because I was the young bull trying to earn a spot. So my 7th grade year I started and avg like 20 points but after that Covid hit my focus on basketball diminished a lil bit but by 8th grade I started playing aau and getting more experience. Then going my freshman I tried out for football, I was good but didn’t love it so I decided to play basketball year round. Then my sophomore year I made varsity just off of defense alone but I didn’t play much as there were a lot of seniors on the team that year but i worked super hard to earn my spot so all summer I was in gym working on my game and trying to improve. So when junior year came I was prepared for a bigger role. We had a decent year went 8-4 in district and got 3rd in district and run into Waxahachie where I had a near double-double but it wasn’t enough to advance but I got team mvp for the year and 1st team all district and this upcoming year my goal is to try to become a college athlete because what I truly love is to  compete. All my life I been competing for everything and nothing was given to me so I take every opportunity very serious. Last but not least all my glory goes to god  for all the blessings in my life.
