“My environment, along with my experiences, shaped me into who I am and helped me create EATN which is the acronym for Exist Above The Noise. Striving to be successful, early in my life I developed a sense of hunger that derived from a desperation to make it. So, I began to search for things to satiate my intellectual hunger. It became imperative that I quench my thirst for knowledge. My ambition innately allowed me to use a gift bestowed upon me. This gift would be basketball. I received a college education during the process. Basketball has been my navigational and motivational tool, which has given me opportunities that have surpassed my imagination.”
