About Me

My journey from professional basketball to broadcasting and acting has been shaped by dedication, resilience, and a passion for growth.

Personal Journey

Born on January 3, 1984 in Berlin, Germany, my life has been a testament to overcoming challenges. As a child, I battled and was cured of leukemia - an experience that shaped my perspective on life and instilled in me a deep appreciation for every opportunity.

Today, I visit sick children every year at the hospital where I was treated, hoping to inspire them with my story of recovery and success.

Career Transition

After a successful basketball career spanning nearly two decades, I've transitioned into broadcasting and acting, bringing the same dedication and work ethic that defined my athletic career.

My experience as a professional athlete gives me unique insights that I bring to both my broadcasting work and acting roles. Understanding teamwork, discipline, and performing under pressure has been invaluable in my new career paths.
