John thanks for taking some time to talk to German Hoops. Where are you at the moment and how has your summer been?

I am currently in California training to get ready for this upcoming season. The summer is going good for myself because I have been able to get take a break and re-focus

In the last year and a half you have been very busy having played in Australia, Chile and Columbia. Do you feel like a mini world traveler already?

Yea, I like to say that I am very cultured. Being able to travel and play basketball has always been a dream of mine.
