My professional NBL basketball career began in Wollongong NSW in 2009. Since then, I have proudly played 13 seasons for the one club, the Hawks. 

​

My passion for nutrition & wellness began when I developed a foot injury in 2013 and a friend suggested I explore how my nutrition may be impacting my recovery. 

I had a fantastic team of physios & doctors working on my foot and while the nutrition angle was one I hadn’t explored, I was desperate to get back on the court so I dove head first into bettering my nutrition. I quickly realised that by changing my eating patterns, I was able to overcome this chronic injury, stop taking high doses of pain medication and get back to my regular lifestyle. 

​

As time went on, I tried to spread this message while doing all I could to learn as much as I could. I completed a second Bachelor’s Degree in Nutrition at the University of Wollongong; as well as, an Advanced Diploma in Sports Nutrition, a Cert III in Pathology and Level 1 in Strength & Conditioning. 

I started coaching basketball to a handful of kids in 2016 when that same friend, opened a gym, and offered me his space to explore my options regarding what I might do post-professional basketball ‘one day'. 

​

I quickly discovered how passionate I am about helping aspiring basketball players, to give them the opportunity to learn skills that I was never taught as a young player.

As time went on, I studied the game in a different light than that of a player, I started seeing specific movement patterns that top professional players use and began teaching specific ball-handling/footwork patterns to help players reach their maximum potential. 

While I am constantly learning in all the fields that Rebound offers, I love teaching & helping others to become healthier, happier people.
