Why Courtside
Basketball is the greatest game in the world, and I count myself as one of many who have experienced not only how amazing it is, but what it can offer to you in return. It has instilled numerous life lessons over the years and created memorable experiences while building countless relationships that have shaped my life. I have been fortunate enough over the years to play in High School at Merrillville, collegiately at Northern Illinois and as a professional in the European circuit. From there I was able to expand my love for the game by coaching at Merrillville High School for over 10 years and many youth programs along the way as well.
Along my journey, a deep feeling of wanting to share and pass along what I have learned from the game of basketball over the years was born in me. I have always been frustrated by the lack of opportunity for young players to have access to the game of basketball as well as players like themselves who were looking to improve. So, after many years of planning, I am extremely excited to share with you that my dream of opening a basketball facility is in the final stages of coming to life with the opening of Courtside by dlux.
