>> Started out at Virginia Military Institute.
Went there on a full basketball scholarship and I was studying psychology.
I started out as a business management major and then I switched to psychology.
And there was no real reason as to why besides it was one of those majors that,
I wouldn't say it was easy by any means, but, honestly, it was one of those majors
that would allow us, you know, as basketball players to be able to successfully get through.
Make our grades, get the grades we needed, but also, you know,
build a good educational background in that respect.
And then when I came here to Millersville I continued along that psychology track
and graduated with a B.A. in Psychology.
For me, you know, being around basketball that was my sport.
And being around sports all my life I really gravitated towards sports.
You know, as a player I didn't really have, you know, a huge idea of what I really wanted to do.
I knew I played basketball.
I knew I was well.
I was able to play professionally for a few years so that was, kind of, what my thing was.
And when I got done I wanted to stick to, you know, the sport or the game
so there was an opportunity to work with AND 1, the basketball marketing company
in Philadelphia, and got a chance to go in there and do some internship work.
And then from there I got hired on the NBA marketing side where we did all
of our NBA marketing, either on court or off court, and that, kind of,
led me into that marketing background and developing those skills around how
to market not just players, but apparel and footwear, as well.
