About Me
My Journey
My goal is to help you re-imagine your life. With extensive experience in life and basketball coaching, my individualized positivity approach will help you attain your goals.
My life's journey started in Columbus, Mississippi which is in the Deep South of the United States of America. As a young child growing up, I never realized that I was living in the Jim Crow era which was the 1950’s, 60’s, and early 70’s. I grew up with my extended family - my grandmother, uncles, and auntie. I remember always going to the store for my grandmother just up the street. The store owner was a tall, nice black man named Mr. Roberts. He would always give me some candy or a soda on the house. But there were also times where I was reminded that because I was black, I couldn’t do certain things such as going in the front door of a Woolworth’s department store to get food or drink out of the white’s only water fountain. I remember walking with my grandmother past the Mississippi college of women (white women only of course) and my grandmother telling me to never stop or even stick one foot past this gate because I could be arrested . That placed an unbelievable fear in me as a 4-5 year old child. The majority of of my childhood I lived in Dayton, Ohio with my mother, father, and two younger sisters. But, unfortunately, racism followed me there to. We lived on the west side of Dayton which is where most of the black community lived. The white community lived on the eastside and downtown divided the communities.
I tell you about my history because we all have obstacles in life. We can decide to let them be excuses for failure, or reasons to strive for success. I chose to work hard to, to fight through the obstacles, to use basketball as a way to get an education and build a career as an NBA player and front office executive.
