About Me

I was raised in Irvine, California where I went to high school. I got a scholarship to play basketball at Duke and was there for 2 seasons, 1997-1999. Went to the 1999 Final four where we lost to Richard Hamilton and UCONN. Transferred the following year to University of Utah and played out my college career there. I now play basketball professionally overseas. I was married Aug. 21st, 2002 to Lesa Zollinger, in the Salt Lake City Temple, who I met at Utah where she played for the women's soccer team. We have 2 beautiful girls, Kelli Jo who was born June 28th, 2004 and Zoey who was born April 1st, 2006. My family and I are worldwide travelers and each basketball season we are always off to a new country and experience
I'm currently playing ball this season in Istanbul, Turkey for the club TTNet Beykoz Sport.

My Interests

I got the sweetest job in the world. I get to play basketball, make a good living while seeing the whole world and taking my family with me. I've played in Turkey, Puerto Rico, Philippines, Australia and S. Korea. Thats 4 continents in 5 years. I also get to just chill 2-3 months of the year either in Millville, Utah or Irvine, CA. I'm a huge family man and I love being around my wife, kids and dog. My wife calls me lazy but I'm just laid back I guess. A lots going on but there always is I guess.
