Camp McBride 2011 was a great week of basketball! Camp was sold out with 80 kids registering. The kids competed great for the sneakers and our 1st All-Star game went right to the last shot with the Staff winning by 1 point. I just want to Thank my staff for doing a great job, the parents for sending your kids to my camp, CCHS for the use of their facility and of course the campers for making it an enjoyable week!
At Camp, we raffled off numerous things (tshirts, socks, candy, signed autographs ect.) and all the proceeds went to James Deere, a little boy at the age 3 suffered brain damage. He has had both his arm and leg amputated on and is fighting for this life everyday. He is a very strong boy, who just turned 5 years old in September 2011. The family can use all the help they can get to help give James a comfortable and lasting life. If you are interested in donating please email me and I can give you all the information you need.

Welcome to my website, I hope you enjoy reading about Camp McBride and my experiences through out my career. My vision is to use basketball as a tool to reach the world through leadership, integrity, and hard work.
Basketball has been a big part of my life since I was little, but with hard work and dedication, many doors of opportunity opened for me. Through basketball I have traveled all over the world, met so many wonderful people and gained valuable knowledge.
I value success not by the wins and losses or how many points and assist I had in a game, but by how much effort and hard work I put into something. There is nothing better in life than helping and teaching others, as many have done for me.
With the support of Catholic Central High School (CCHS) Camp McBridehas given me a foundation to teach and pass on my love for the game. I take great pride in being a part of the CCHS community, where they allow me to be myself and apply what I have learned in basketball to help others. CCHS is a great place to learn about God, family, and responsibility.
I want to give back to the game of basketball that has helped me accomplish so much! Camp McBride is a great opportunity for players to learn from athletes who played at all levels. We'll help students of all ages identify the right tools to reach their max potential by honing players' individual skills and competitive drives to improve their overall game.
Remember, It is possible to accomplish anything you put your mind and heart to!
