Nick Sutton, III, SBA Owner
Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area I played just about every sport I could —basketball, baseball, tennis, soccer, golf, skiing, and more. In high school, I helped lead our basketball team to its first-ever state title game and later walked on to the Duke Basketball team during the 2006–2007 season. After 12 years working in finance in the Oil & Gas industry, I decided to combine my lifelong passion for sports with everything I’ve learned about building and running a successful organization. Launching this youth basketball academy is a dream come true, and I’m incredibly excited to meet the families who join us and build something truly special together!
