Passion.
As a young boy, I always loved sports. One sport in particular was more exhilarating and interesting for me than all the others and still is to this day. That sport is basketball. I played basketball for my entire life among other sports, but one thing that I was always focused on even if I wasn’t supposed to was that round orange ball. I played from what felt like birth until I left for college. Finally, when I found out I couldn’t play in college, I reached for an alternative. lly, when I found out I couldn’t play in college, I reached for an alternative.
I sharpened my time management skills and work ethic early as well as learned many new skills by working as a manager for Oregon Men’s Basketball all 4 years of college while pursuing my undergraduate degree.
As a manager, I felt like I was still involved in the game, without actually playing. I loved every second of this captivating game and it never felt like work. My father always tells me “find a job then a career that you love doing, because if you love what you do for work, then it no longer becomes work. It makes you appreciate what you have and who you share it with and it helps make every day a great day.”
Shown below are just a handful of images captured to show what it was like to be apart of this amazing basketball program. Through highs and lows I was always 100% dedicated every single day. I am forever grateful for this once in a lifetime opportunity that only a select few will be apart of and be able to understand.
