Farid Johnson

In high school, he did not make the varsity team and spent most of his time on the bench in 10th grade while playing for the junior varsity team. Through extremely hard work and dedication, he finished high school as a two-sport athlete, earned all-state honors in basketball, was a finalist for Mr. Westchester in 1999, and is currently in the Hastings High School Hall of Fame. At Manhattanville College, he is one of the top 20 scorers all-time and holds the record for the most blocks in one season. Farid knows what it takes to play and perform at some of the highest levels. He also knows that sports can take you places beyond a court or field. This realization was cemented when he played basketball with the former president of the United States, Barack Obama!
