I'm a Retired Professional Basketball player, spending my career playing in Italy, China and Latvia. Transferring to a different country, adapting to a different climate, culture, and personalities molded some of the skills that made me successful today. I've learned to use my struggles as fuel to overcome obstacles that lie in my path. Having the opportunity to experience different demographics and practices benefited not only my physical body but my mentality, outlook in life and even my appetite! The eagerness to know what life after #Professional Basketball was in my mind as my career progress. This prompted me to finish my college degree at Kansas University, I thought that would be the end point of my learning drive. Little-by-little an inner drive fueled my ambition to become an entrepreneur someday. This mindset plus the support my family, gave me the inspiration to start In The Paint International Sports, my flagship business, fast-forward today, I own a handful of businesses and my very own Foundation, I have traveled the World doing what I do best, teach and inspire upcoming basketball stars, I'm also a self-made Stock Market Investor of which I give out advice, coach and formulate good predictions using proven methods.Finally,The dedication, persistence, and knowledge I've obtained throughout my athletic career and in my business endeavors have allowed me to achieve success in all aspects of my personal and professional life and I'm ready to take the same skill set and apply it to new opportunities, both domestic and internationally!
