Outside of my professional career, I founded and continue to lead North City AAU, a competitive youth basketball program serving the Snohomish County area (north of Seattle). Since 2010, over 1,500 kids have come through the program, which has grown to 150+ active players and 15 teams across both boys and girls, competing in local and regional tournaments from 4th grade through 11th grade. North City also offers year-round individual training focused on skill development, strength, and speed.

What started as a passion project has become a meaningful part of the community — with 50+ alumni going on to play collegiate basketball at various levels. Building and leading this program for 15+ years has been driven by a genuine love of the game and a commitment to developing young athletes both on and off the court.
