He has developed a solid offensive game to go with his defense, making him one of the most difficult players to guard in the league. “These past three seasons, he has matured a lot,” PLU junior Sean McCurdy said. “You

deliver IT services to the organization. These places have different needs, but how you run it – how you run a service desk, how you secure your desktop computers, how you provide applications so people can get their jobs done every day – it’s pretty common across all of them.
