I developed basketball skills in my neighborhood, not on a basketball goal w/a rim, but on a "home-made basket" from bicycle rims and peach baskets without nets. We played on dirt and grassy areas until the rim fell off or it was too dark to see.

During my high school years the basketball coach played me in three different positions, point guard, 2nd guard and shooting forward. I started my last 2 years at the two guard position.

I attended a 2 year college program at Selma University College on a baseball scholarship. I tried out for the basketball team as a so called "walk-on". I made the basketball team because I was a hustler and kept my head up, no matter what. After sitting on the bench for the first seven games I finally got my chance. The coach put me in and I scored 14 points, had 4 rebounds, in only 7 minutes of play. I started every game after that.
After I completed the 2-year program at Selma I attended Stillman College for one year, played baseball only, missed basketball a lot and then decided to join the air force.
I completed my air force training at Lackland Airforce Base in Texas, and was stationed at Soesterberg Airforce base in the Netherlands.

I played for the base basketball team, called the Wolfhounds for 7 years, averaged 32 points per game and I also played for several local dutch teams (Stoepie Shooters/Best Data/Sport Life Canadians/Dunkers).

One of the local dutch teams called the Stoepie Shooters, made it to the highest division of the Netherlands and had several sponsors interested because of my contributions to the team. I averaged 27 points/8 rebounds and 2 blocked shots per game.

I played basketball as a forward/center at Tilden High School, and played in the Intramural Men's Basketball League at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.

I assisted promoting an intercollegiate Men's Basketball Program on campus and a couple of years after I graduated, the University was successful in starting a Men's Basketball Program and is currently a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA).

I coached several in-house and travelling girls basketball teams through out the years and am glad to be part of the back2basics basketball program so I continue to teach and coach the game of basketball.

Born and raised in Fayette County, Georgia, USA. I attended Starr's Mill High School where I played 3-years of varsity basketball as shooting guard/forward. I also played varsity football and ran track during my High School years. After High School I went to West Georgia College, played basketball as a guard for the "The Wolves", and coached several local recreational teams while studying sports psychology.

I moved to Savannah after 2-years to finish my basketball career at Savannah State College where I also completed my degree in psychology and coaching.

My biggest motivation was to compete and excel in whatever I participated in and my uncle was my biggest supporter.

I continue to train and coach under Lee Massey's Back2Basics basketball program, he has taught me so much about the game of basketball.

The program is all about You. You decide the outcome, while we provide the basic fundamental skills to help you succeed, no matter what obstacles you're up against.
