LiteWork Events originated as a vision to create an Urban Socialite Network in Boston. What better way to build on this vision than to highlight some of Boston’s most dynamic urban young professionals and socialites! Check out our latest feature, and hopefully you’ll also catch up with them at our next event!

Alma Mater? New Jersey Institute of Technology, Class of 2013
What brings you to Boston? Being from this wonderful city, I’m looking to do a couple different things. My brand, La Familia, is starting with some networking events to give our market of Young Professionals an opportunity to expand their network, and to also give back by means of basketball. We plan to do camps and clinics in the city for the development of youth who love the game. Given my background and that of my Co-Founder/brother, we both used basketball as a tool to get ahead in life. I just finished the 2014-2015 season for the Uni-Riesen Leipzig basketball team overseas.
Tell us about yourself (What are you passionate about? Any side hustles?):
I’m passionate about being successful in a way that does not compromise my dignity. Anything that I am apart of, I like to see it in the light of success. I am passionate about bringing my visions into fruition. I’m passionate about giving back. I want to be a part of building up the future generation in a way to make this city, state and country a better place. Now that it’s off season, as of this moment I’m just focusing on building – it’s basketball and networking as of right now.
What’s one thing we should know about you? I’m a “God first” guy. Without him I am nothing.
