My goals for the 2007 Canada Winter Games

my goal is to do whatever it takes to help my team win starter or not I'd rather receive the 6th man award than MVP

My personal role model

Well as far as the wheelchair basketball world goes it would definitely have to be Patrick Anderson simply because i was able to watch him develop into what i believe to be the best wheelchair basketball player the game has ever seen and being able to be so close to a player with so much intensity and drive has always made me want to keep pushing and improve my skills

Other information that could be of interest to the media

Since beeing Selected to the Canada Games team I have been able to take on a strong leadership role on my club team and pass on the new knowlege and understanding of the game by coaching the mini division wheelchairbasketball team.
