I was born and raised in far southwest Virginia so have had the privilege of calling here home my entire life.  I grew up a coach's son, so basketball has been a large part of my life for as long as I can remember.  Summers were spent in a gym on the travel ball circuit.  As a teenager, I played with the Roanoke Jaguars, an AAU team coached by Ron Turner .  In 1998, i was invited to play at the AAU National Championships in Memphis, TN for a team based in Martinsville and coached by Tony Jones.  We finished 7^th in the country that year.  Later, my dad, Larry Mullins, started a team based locally where we competed in the YBOA program finishing as National Runner-up in 2000 and 5^th in the country in 2001.  

I played my high school career at Honaker high school where I was a four-year varsity starter and 1000 point scorer under Trevor Coleman and graduated in 2004.  There isn't too much demand for 6'2 centers with bad knees on the collegiate level, so I went to the University of Virginia in Charlottesville where I majored in Economics and graduated in 2007 before returning to Southwest Virginia to work in the financial services industry.

Over the past 20 years, I have coached on the youth, high school and collegiate levels.  In 2009-2010, I served as the Associate Head Coach for SWCC on my father's staff where we competed as a charter member of the NJCAA as a Division III School in Region X.  We had a successful season finishing as runner up in the regular season and conference tournament that year. Most recently I served as the head coach for JV basketball at Honaker High School in 2020-2022 where our team enjoyed back-to-back district championships.

Today, I own an investment management company in Richlands I started in 2012.  I am married to my high school sweetheart, Brittany, and we reside in Russell County with our two boys Cooper and Callen.
