“There is really no one more knowledgeable on the intricacies of European basketball and the transition of young athletes to the world of US hoops than Morten. What is more important to note is his genuine love for providing invaluable service to young athletes and has done so over a couple of decades now in a self-sacrificing way. I cannot recommend him more enthusiastically. I have seen what he can do in sport settings, and anyone associated with him is extremely fortunate. People like Morten don’t come around often in one’s life. Prudently use his expertise and knowledge. He makes a difference through what he does and the way he does it. Truly a special man in this tremendously competitive business”
