From International Courts to Artisanal Spice Blends: A Professional Athlete's Culinary Journey.                               

After 13 years of professional basketball across five countries, I discovered something unexpected: my true passion wasn't just on the court – it was in the kitchen. Each new country I played in became not just a basketball adventure, but a culinary education, teaching me the authentic flavors and spice traditions that would eventually inspire From the Court to the Kitchen.

What I learned during those years abroad was eye-opening. While most commercial spice companies cut corners with cheap fillers like salt, I was experiencing the real deal – pure, potent spices that transformed ordinary dishes into extraordinary meals. When I returned home, I couldn't find spice blends that matched the quality and authenticity I'd come to know and love. That's when I realized: if I wanted exceptional spices, I'd have to create them myself.

Today, From the Court to the Kitchen currently offers six distinct spice blends, each one crafted with the same dedication to excellence I brought to the basketball court. No fillers, no shortcuts – just pure, high-quality ingredients that elevate every dish they touch. Whether you're a seasoned chef or just starting your culinary journey, there's a blend in our collection to match your taste and cooking style.

Here's what makes From the Court to the Kitchen different: While other companies use salt as a cheap filler, we focus on pure, quality spices that enhance your food's natural flavors. Every blend in our collection is crafted with the same precision and dedication I brought to professional basketball. The result? Seasonings that make your food taste better, not saltier. 

When I say every blend tells a story, I mean it. Let me take you through our carefully crafted collection:

Coney Spice
If you know, you know. This isn't just any hot dog seasoning – it's crafted specifically for authentic Flint Style Coney dogs. As a Michigan native, I understand that a true Flint Coney has a distinctive flavor profile that can't be replicated with ordinary spices. Our Coney Spice captures that local legend in every shake.

Seasoning Spice
Think of this as your culinary MVP – versatile enough to elevate any dish. From crisp vegetables to succulent meats, tender seafood to perfect poultry, this blend proves that one exceptional seasoning can transform your entire cooking game. It's my go-to player for everyday cooking.

Chicken Seasoned Fry Flour
This isn't just another breading – it's your secret weapon for creating perfectly seasoned, crispy exteriors on everything from classic fried chicken to savory chicken livers, juicy pork chops, and even crispy vegetables. We've done the hard work of balancing the seasonings, so you don't have to.

Creole Spice
When you need that extra kick, our Creole Spice delivers. Bringing authentic Louisiana-inspired heat and flavor, this blend adds personality to any dish that could use some Southern charm and spice.

Latin Spice
Inspired by my time playing basketball internationally, this blend captures the vibrant essence of Latin cuisine. It's the perfect partner for traditional Latin dishes, adding authentic depth and character to your cooking.

Blackening Spice
Perfect for creating that coveted blackened crust on seafood, chicken, or fish, this blend proves that blackened doesn't mean burnt – it means perfectly seasoned with a beautiful crust packed with flavor.
