Mike Medved will be the first to tell you he wears many hats.
Country music singer-songwriter, former professional basketball player, teacher, graphic designer, husband and father, to name a few. He even moonlights in The Bachelor Boys Band, which plays at area weddings.

He knocked out a couple career records while he was across the pond, averaging 18 points and 12 rebounds per game and leading his league in 3-point shooting for a time.
