Hobbies and interests
Basketball has been my life for the last 15 years but outside of this I love spending time with my wife Christina and three kids, Carter, Hayley and Leo. We love to go mountain biking and bush walks. Building things around the house for the kids to play on and with has become a family favourite. Recently I have been very active in different sporting activities such as triathlons, boxing and golfing.
My goal is to be a positive role model for my kids and my family.
