As Owner/Director of The Arizona Flames, I have accepted the challenge of being responsible and accountable for the success of this organization and every person onboard with the vision. Coming from truly humble beginnings, being raised in poverty in the inner city of Chicago, I know all too well what’s it’s like to have nothing, to be surrounded by danger, failure, lack of resources, constantly being pushed to be become a product of your environment, but having a desire to be different! I learned very early that kids that look like me and grew up similar, only want an opportunity to be great and a little bit of support. I am poised to have very positive impact in my home, my community, and this world.Currently looking forward to our Inaugural Season in the ABA, being champions in the communities of Arizona, and being WINNERS on the court. Youth and young adults, are drawn to SPORTS, MUSIC, and ENTERTAINMENT, and we want to be vehicle that gives them the tools and resources to be successful in life on and off the court.
