Bio

I went to college at Syracuse University where I was a dual sport analytics and broadcast journalism major. While I was there, worked as a manager for the Syracuse Men's Basketball team, traveling to games with the team and was there during the run to the Final Four in the 2015 season. I have since worked in analytics roles for the Indiana Pacers, Long Island Nets, and currently with the Milwaukee Bucks. While with the Pacers, I worked on the performance side helping with athletic testing in preparation for the NBA Draft. With the Nets, I worked on game preparation and post-game reporting, as well as helping with player personnel. I have done similar work in my time with the Liberty. I am currently back in Syracuse as an applied data science masters student. I grew up in New Jersey on a maple syrup farm with golden retrievers and love to play pickup basketball and golf.
