Be passionate about who you and what you do. That's me. As the headline reads, I'm a sports enthusiast and entrepreneur.

3 years ago I started with a blog and a purpose that was dedicated to promoting boys high school basketball players in Florida.

I wanted to help players of all playing levels and abilities reach their goal of playing high school basketball by putting their name and game in front of college coaches nationwide.

I started with no social media presence, a blogger page, a laptop that I used to sit and take notes with in the stands at games. Humble beginnings for a blogger.

That goal has grown. We are now Hardwood Hoops Central, LLC. We have over 23,000 Twitter followers, over 16,000 on Instagram, a website and we now cover Florida, Arizona, Illinois, Canada and parts of Spain. I have a team of scouts and interns that have helped me grow to where we are today.

I have personally scouted thousands of players since the inception and am hopefully to see thousands more.

We are also partnered with brands such as ISlide USA-- who custom designs the slides you'll see in my background photo-- and Viewsport-- who will be helping us lauch new customized shirts for players and fans alike-- available in 2015 through our website.

Our motto is to "Eat, Sleep, Breathe the Hardwood" and with that mentality, we believe it will lead us to success.

In my down time, I love spending time with my signifigant other, friends and family. While there's no place like home, I love to travel and enjoy great foods and movies.

A simple life, but I'm always looking to grow.
