For the time being, he's back home in Aurora, doing work as an athletic trainer and organizing a summer basketball camp at the Fox Valley Park District's Eola Center. Usually, though, it's wise to have an atlas and a globe handy to find him.

England, Spain, Germany, Bosnia, Romania, Ethiopia and Rwanda are just some of the stamps on the well-worn passports of this professional player.
