How did you get involved in sports and what made you want to start Capture Sports Agency?
I got involved with sports at a very young age. My mother got me my first basketball when I was at the age three. I’ve been playing sports ever since then. Basketball was and always will be my first love. Following God’s vision, purpose, and mission for me made me want to start Capture Sports Agency as well as wanting to be that difference maker in this industry as well. A lot of agencies are about the money when I’m just here for the people trying to be a light and a positive influence to those around me.

How did you come up with the name Capture Sports Agency?
My mother and I came up with the agency name. We we’re sitting down just brainstorming on what to name it. Something that has meaning to it and will make a positive influence so Capture Sports Agency was it. We chose this because as an agency we want to capture our athletes to be more than just athletes, but positive role models and influences to those around them and their audience as well.
