My introduction to basketball was through Kobe Bryant. Soon enough, I was hooked to his game and although I started with being a fan of his, I also became a fan of basketball. To this day, Kobe remains my reference and guide as I try to navigate through life. I began my writing journey when I was pursuing law and merging the two worlds together was a no-brainer. I got an opportunity to put my thoughts, analysis, and opinions about the game of basketball, and I consider myself fortunate to be able to do this. My aspiration in this field of work doesn't stop here and I wish to explore as much as I can while constantly adding new skill sets. Other than the world of sports, I draw my inspiration in life from my heroes from the world of hip-hop music, especially from the late 80s to the early 00s. When I'm not in front of a screen watching my favorite teams perform magic, you can find me with my headphones on, trying to dissect a bar from my favorite artist.

My tryst with MLB was accidental, but what followed was nothing short of a pursuit of excellence. Having penned over 1,000 articles, I've written about the key figures ES regularly features, including Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Barry Bonds, and Mike Trout, but Shohei Ohtani is a personal favorite. From New York to Los Angeles, I've covered articles spanning all 50 states that have been recognized as Editor's Picks on multiple occasions. With an exceptional attention to detail and insightful coverage, I'm now an MLB editor. Other than baseball, I also occasionally pick up a bow and arrow and engage in friendly archery games. When not writing about baseball or hitting the bull's eye with my arrows, I love to indulge in my love for literature.?The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid,? by Jane Austen is a personal favorite quote of mine. I also enjoy reading about morally gray characters and talking about them on my bookstagram.

“Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your better is best” - Tim Duncan said this once, and I took it as a sign to keep working on myself, without fail! Being a basketball player all my life, it was natural for me to eventually become an NBA writer at EssentiallySports. Being a Spurs fan, I fell in love with Duncan and McGrady for making me the fan I am today. Their dedication to their field inspired me to never give up, despite my knee surgeries. Today, as an NBA writer, I get to share my unique perspectives with the world. The fact that I actually get to write about the things that I love, especially while getting to watch them live, it something I love about my job. With San Antonio landing a cornerstone for their franchise in Wembanyama, make sure you are paying close attention to Spurs-based pieces. When I am not knee-deep into all things basketball, I am gaming. I love PUBG, NBA2K and Forza Horizon. Want to have a spirited debate on my articles? Hit me up on the links below.
