A Plus Youth Program

I'm so excited to be a guest speaker along with Jason Collins, at the 2nd Annual A Plus Youth Program, "Principles to Live By Gala" in Seattle, September 3, 2013!

I will be sharing behind the scenes stories and where I got my inspiration for my upcoming book, hoop: the american dream.

The mission of the A Plus Youth Program is to use sports as a vehicle to provide the educational resources and character development necessary for student-athletes to succeed in life. To learn more about how you can help A Plus Youth Program, visit their website, www.aplusyouthprogram.org.

See you there?

Nikon Ambassador!

It's a privilege and honor to have been asked to represent Nikon as an ambassador for the United States! I am one of 16 photographers to receive this honor — the first time Nikon has done this in the U.S.

Nikon has been a part of my life for over 30 years and I am extremely grateful for this amazing opportunity! Thank you Nikon!
