Growing up it was hard being raised without a father dealing with a disability and knowing that my father ran out my life because of my disability I was picked on a lot and doubted all the time. People always told me what I couldnt do I was introduced to basketball but never really knew how to play but people drived me to practice everyday and night rain, sleet, and snow because of all the doubt that got. Although GOD didnt bless me with two functional arms he blessed me with will power and toughness and heart to replace my disability and gave me a mind to think for myself and not be concerned with what people had to say. After dealing with all the obstacles thrown at me I still ended up prevailing and ended up making a college basketball team and getting a tryout with the Harlem globetrotters I was one of the only one arm basketball players in NAIA to score 27 points in a single game and it was GOD who did that for me. After all the success came things begin to get bad again I lost my mother and grandmother in the same year in which my mother died on Christmas Eve in a car wreak struck by a drunk driver my life was in sandels but I knew that thru GOD I would make it through
