About
Athlete. Competitor. Lifelong learner. I thrive in fast-paced, high-energy environments where the standard is high and the work ethic is higher. My journey has taken me from college courts to professional leagues across three countries, and into boardrooms where I built a freight territory from scratch and outperformed my peers nationally.
I bring the same mindset to everything I do — show up, outwork, grow. I am drawn to teams with great culture, high character, and a genuine hunger to win. If that is the environment, I will fit right in and contribute from day one.
