Own Words:
Basketball has been my passion ever since I was a little kid. Lakers have run my life. You can see me driving on the 101 with my SC LAKER license plate (SC for USC Trojans of course), 2 Lakers car flags, and a Laker stick on the back window. I started my own ticket resale business at the age of 15 years old.

In 2002 I bought four Lakers season tickets, which has now expanded to include the Dodgers, Trojans, Bruins, Chargers, and even Clippers. These tickets allowed me to take unpaid internships in sports, while still generating some cash to get by. I interned with the Clippers for a year (couldn’t get a job with the Lake show). I also interned with the Summer Pro League (SPL) and got to get up close with Bynum and Farmar. After a year there, they hired me on full time to run the league this past year. Not too bad for a 22 year old college student.

Anyways, my favorite Lakers are Kobe, Lamar, and don’t laugh, Sasha. When I’m not watching the Lakers, I’m usually watching other NBA games, usually whoever I have in my fantasy leagues, or following the USC Trojans, Saints, Braves, and Dodgers. Basically all you need to remember about me is that yes, I do like Sasha and if you ever need any tickets in the So Cal area, you now know who to come to.
