Very proud daughter today.
At 52 years old my dad started a new career… incredibly hard to do after 30 years of coaching. 18 years of hard work paid off, and so excited for him to get this opportunity to call sweet 16 and elite 8 games!
Thrilled to finally be able to share what I’ve been up to the past few years. As a Greek American, who grew up around the game, it’s been the opportunity of a lifetime getting to share this family’s marvelous journey. Thank you to the Antetokounmpos for your trust.

I have had the privilege for the past year to work with Pratima Sherpa and tell her incredibly powerful story. Finally we are able to share it!

Sometimes you are lucky enough to share a story that becomes so much more than you ever imagined. Pratima and her family have changed my life over the past 2 years. I feel honored to have finally hosted them in the US. I hate our goodbyes, but know we will see each other soon!
