Searching for Thunderlizards at @floodgatefund. On a mission to understand the margin between failure and greatness.
Joined February 2016
About a month ago, I laced up my hoop shoes for the last time as a student-athlete. Here is what I’ve learned in my almost twenty year journey with the game. My hope is it can be helpful to anyone who dares to dream big and chase greatness in whatever they do.

It has always been my goal to play Division 1 basketball and get the best education possible. With that being said, I am incredibly honored and excited to say that I will be continuing my education and basketball career at Stanford University!! Go Cardinal🏀🌲

@CoachJerodHaase and @dberkun05 are staying back to do the laundry of quarantined players and deliver food. Lucky to play for a staff of true servant leaders.
An update from @StanfordMBB after it’s Diamond Head Classic title game against @VandyMBB was canceled due to positive tests within Cardinal team: players who tested positive are isolating in Honolulu. Coach Jarod Haase is staying back with them. Stanford next game vs Cal Jan. 2.

What does 80 Billion pounds of food look like? Imagine filling the Empire State Building with potatoes. Now multiply that times a thousand. That’s how much food goes to waste in America every year.

Hearing Mahmoud speak last year was a game changer for me. Still think about this mentality nearly everyday, the book he recommended “Chop Wood, Carry Water”, and the importance of doing the simple over, and over, and over again.

I can verify that my roommate is ready for a BIG Year 2!.
Stanford's Spencer Jones made 81 three-point shots last season, which was the second most by a freshman in program history. School record for a freshman was Chasson Randle with 85.

With everyone tearing down Giannis, I’d like to provide opposite perspective. Maybe they don’t get it done this year and by the all near term measures, he fails. But that doesn’t make him a failure. He will make it happen in years to come, and I’m sure he believes that too.
