Biography
Has quickly fallen in love with the NBL, Australia and the Cairns Taipans over the last two seasons, and the club and Far North Queensland community has done the same with him as he prepares for a third season with the Snakes.
Grew up in Philadelphia before starting his college career with Niagara University and joining Tennessee State University, where he was outstanding over the two seasons he delivered 14.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.6 steals a game.
Started his professional career at the Long Island Nets of the G League, before that led to a brief NBA opportunity at the Brooklyn Nets in the 2018/19 season.
Since then, he remained playing in the G League at the College Park Skyhawks and Lakeland Magic before his first stop overseas with Orléans Loiret Basket in France.
That all led to him joining Cairns ahead of the 2021/22 NBL season and he fit in immediately. Proved himself a tremendous defender, good playmaker and his energy and hustle was infectious to his teammates.
Quickly showed what a leader he could be too and that's why he's now a mainstay of the Taipans group entering his third season.
