THE LOUISIANIAN IN HOUSTON TO WATCH: HAVE YOU MET CLIFF GHORAM!

Baton Rouge native and Rice Graduate Cliff Ghorman

Lawrence “Cliff” Ghoram is from Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  He has a strong background of being a positive role model as well as a community leader.  


The Zachary High Graduate was the Student Government Association President of his high school all while allowing basketball to help him get to where he wanted to go.   


Cliff Ghoram chose Rice University because it would allow him to get a great education while playing in the competitive Conference USA. 


While at Rice, he majored in Sociology and Business because he felt it would give him a great insight on the world for becoming a businessman.  


During his junior year at Rice, to gain an even better perspective of the business world Cliff Ghoram and two of his teammates started their own personal basketball training business called Dreamarkable, LLC.  


From the Basketball court to the boardroom!
After graduating from Rice in May 2010, Ghoram continued to pursue basketball professionally while providing basketball training through his business Dreamarkable.   


After realizing that playing professional basketball may not happen when expected, Ghoram began working for Mass Mutual Financial Group while staying in touch with basketball by coaching St. John’s School 9th grade basketball team.   


He continues to be a positive role model today by volunteering at YES Prep North to mentor 5 young men every week.  


He also continues his connection to sports by also coaching the Houston Select AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) basketball team. 


As far as his career, he is very open to opportunities that come his way.


With all of that said make sure you keep an eye on Cliff - he's the Louisianian in Houston to watch!
