  • In this video, I’m giving you an inside look at what it’s really like to play professional basketball overseas in Taiwan. From my daily routines and practice schedules to the challenges of adjusting to a new culture and being away from family, this is the honest truth about life as a pro athlete abroad. It’s been a crazy journey, and there are things that are so different from my time playing Division 3 ball back in college. But every challenge has helped me grow, and I’m here to share the good, the tough, and everything in between.
    Whether you’re dreaming of going pro or just curious about life as an international athlete, I hope this video gives you a real sense of what it’s like. Drop a comment if you have questions, and don’t forget to subscribe if you want to see more behind-the-scenes of pro basketball life!

    This is awesome content man, I played D3 soccer for one year before I quit after breaking my foot so it's cool to see you pursuing your pro career in Taiwan. I'm half Taiwanese and have always wanted to live there as an adult so would be interesting to hear about the differences between US and Taiwan life along with any tips you have for people visiting!

    Man it must be tough to be looking Chinese, with a Chinese name, living in a Chinese speaking country, and yet don't really speak or write it. It's like a in between experience. I had this in my early twenties living in Japan while being stationed with the US navy in Atsugi, it's super weird when I head to the local Japanese supermarket and the clerk there realize I can't speak Japanese but speak fluent English.

    It's a funny kind of predicament that your talent and hard work takes to a level where you are elite enough to play pro but then with that you are thrusted into a situation where you are in a foreign country, fish out of water, a somewhat insular existence. Like the same skill that put you on top is the same that put you at ground zero, if you know what I mean. An "alien" of sorts.
