Biography
After banging down the door for his first opportunity in the NBL as a 34-year-old, is now entering a second season at the Adelaide 36ers having proven what his boundless energy can provide.
Having grown up in Miami, Florida, he completed his college career at Bethune-Cookman University and then made the move down under to begin his professional career and has never looked back.
He has shown himself to be a tremendous athlete, brilliant rebounder and someone who can impact games in so many ways through his length and energy, and aside from a Big V season in 2015 at the Warrnambool Seahawks, it's all been done in South Australia.
He started at the Woodville Warriors where he won his first Premier League MVP award and took his team to a championship.
He then led the Southern Tigers to a championship in 2016, was named league MVP again in 2018 and then teamed up with 36ers legend Scott Ninnis to win another title at South Adelaide in 2022 where he was also Grand Final MVP.
On the back of then becoming an Australian citizen, earned his first NBL chance at the Sixers in NBL24 and was impressive with the energy he brought with 3.8 points and 3.8 rebounds in 12.5 minutes a game.
He was back at South Adelaide in the NBL1 Central season named MVP with 23.2 points, 11.9 rebounds and 3.4 assists now ahead of his second NBL campaign.
