I grew up in inner-city Columbus, Ohio and attended Northland High School. From there, I went to Harvard, where I played basketball and earned a degree in sociology. An injury sidelined me for my Junior and Senior seasons, but I was able to win an Ivy League championship, be named Ivy League Player of the Year, and earn All-American Honorable Mention status, all in my sophomore year. After graduating, I chose to use my remaining eligibility back home at Ohio State, where I am now. Go Bucks!
