In basketball, you can be the greatest individual player in the world and still lose every game, because a team will always beat an individual.

Music is critical in our lives and culture. It's the inspiration that drives us. It's also the window to our souls. It's a reflection as to who we are, what we stand for and where we're going.

The passions I have in my life are my family, music, books, I'm an avid plant collector, and I love to ride my bike.
