It all started with a 5 year old begging his parents to let him play basketball having little prior athletic experience. From the moment I first picked up that ball in the driveway a seed was planted and rooted into my childhood leading into my middle school years.
Starting from the bottom I worked my way up from getting minimal minutes in 7th grade to becoming a starter in 8th grade, redefining my skills as a basketball player. Beyond the knowledge and ball handling abilities I had gained from my early nostalgic years, I developed my distinctive ability to shoot the ball that carried me into my breakout 9th grade season.
High School brought my best seasons and my hardest lessons. From being the top scorer to getting little playing time, then not making varsity at all. For many, that would've been the end of the story, but for me, it was just the beginning.
A spot on a rec team with no crowd equated to the best experience of my life and for the first time showed what I was capable of when the stars aligned. It reminded me why I started: the friends, the competition, the stories, the late nights, and quiet hours in the gym.
Leading to the paradoxical comeback of making the team without ever playing a meaningful minute showed all the proof that I wasn't just playing for the minutes but for everything else the game stood for me.
Even after the final buzzer sounded, I kept showing up. That's the foundation of Handlz, built from every shot I've taken, every story I've been through, and ever ounce of love that started from a kid who only ever wanted to play the game.
My Dream
My dream is to take everything this game has given me and turn it into something bigger through it. I want to build a community of over a million subscribers, to host legendary camps that are both competive and meaningful, to share the story of a TEAM and document its greatest moments, and to travel the world playing with friends and the greatest the game has to offer.
That's my dream, to inspire others the same way the game inspired me, and to prove with enough belief, consistency, and love for the process anything is possible.
