About Me

Take a look at the part that says "Where Dutch happened" - I think 'Dutch' fouled me. Ferris going to the free throw line, shooting 2!I was born in Syracuse, NY, grew up in Liverpool, NY my entire life. Graduated from Liverpool High School in 2000 and went to Canisius College. I graduated from Canisius College in 2004 with a degree in Criminal Justice and Sociology. I was also a member of the Canisius College Basketball Team (Division I NCAA - MAAC Conference). My father's side of the family is Lebanese/American, which means we are of Lebanese decent. For those who know Lebanon, my family is from Baskinta. After graduating from Canisius, I decided to continue my basketball career by playing professional basketball overseas. In 2005 I played for Club Sagesse in Beirut, Lebanon. Most recently, I played in Amsterdam, Holland and Lappeenranta, Finland. While in Finland we won the Finish Cup Championship (see photos).I am a teacher's assistant (TA) at Liverpool High School. I work daily with special needs children and it's an amazing feeling to be able to help. Along with teaching, I have also created my own small business doing personal basketball training (check it out-Next Level Athletics...it's my 1st friend on my friend's list). Site under-construction.I plan on going back to school and getting my master's degree...however I am uncertain what I will study. I would like to get my master's in special education as well as my CAS to become a principal or superintendent or even an athletic director. I still have a strong interest in federal law enforcement. I am considering going to law school as well. As far as my life is concerned, I could not ask more much more. I have more than anyone could ever ask for. I have a optimistic outlook on life and I always live each day to it's fullest.God has blessed me with so much and I am so thankful for everything.

My Interests
