"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." -Michael Jordan


I am from the hardwood,

with one strong belief…practice, pain and passion,

will pay off.


I am from, quiet, empty gymnasiums

fighting for a spot on the team, just wanting chance get noticed,

waiting to prove myself.


I am from Hartland, Wisconsin.

A thriving community along the bark river…family, friends, and faith,

a hidden treasure I call home.


I am from a basketball coaching family, three generations strong…

My family name follows me, opening opportunities,

defining me...determined, dedicated, and devoted.


I am from Arrowhead

on the fast track to graduation,

fired up, fearless, and formidable

eager to know what the future holds.


I am from the hardwood,

with one strong belief…practice, pain and passion,

is paying off.
