Max Piner

My name is Max Piner and I am currently a graduate student in the sport management program at Long Beach State University. I am also currently a sales coordinator for luxury transportation company Lux Bus America. I did my undergraduate studies at Chapman University in Orange, California where I was a business administration major as well as a four year member of the men's basketball team. I am originally from Northridge, California where I attended Chaminade High School in West Hills. Lastly, writing and basketball are my two passions, and as a lifelong Lakers fan I am very excited to be a contributing member to Lakers Nation.
