Well this may be old news to most of you...but I signed a one year contract with a team from Italy. Throughout the month of June I received several offers from teams in Poland, Bulgaria, Belgium, and Spain. Some were good offers in which I considered for a while. Then in early July I recieved a few more offers...one of which was an offer from a team in Italy. This offer jumped out at me and seemed to be the best situation for my career. After a few days of thinking it through, I decided to sign on with the team out of Pavia, Italy.
Pavia is a solid team in A2 Italy. Last year they made it to the playoffs in this competative league. There are a lot of unknowns about what my life is going to be like when I move there in mid-August but I am looking forward to it! Pavia is a city of about 71,000 people and is located in Northern Italy, just south of Milan.

Intro
Hello everyone!
Since I graduated this past May from NDSU, I have been persuing a professional basketball career. I knew that this would be a once in a lifetime opportunity so I decided that I could put a "real job" on hold for a while. So I hired an agent and weighed my options. I got a little bit of a look from some NBA teams after playing for the Bison. As the summer progressed it looked more and more likely that I would be playing pro basketball in Europe.
I have friends, family, and fans who all have been supportive and expressed interest in my endeavors. I thought the best way to keep everybody in the loop would be to start a blog. This way I don't have to worry about whether or not they are on my facebook friends list, I have their email address, or have their instant messenger screenname.
I can't make any promises about how frequently I will post on my blog, but I will do my best to keep everyone up to date on what is happening as well as post some pictures from time to time.
Feel free to comment or add anything to my blogs. I appreciate your interest and look forward to what is to come.
Thanks.
