Dave Thompson

Director of Basketball Operations

My name is David Thompson born and raised in Milwaukee WI, where I attended Whitefish Bay.

I played junior college in Southern California at Mt San Jacinto where I was nominated as an all American. After my success at the junior college level, I went to play Division 1 basketball at Santa Clara university from 2019-2020. Finally, I transferred one final time to go play at Central Washington university (D2) 2021-22 where I earned first team all pre season and took my team to the GNAC tournament Championship

After college, I pursued professional ball and have been playing professionally for 3 years now (and counting) in Europe and Latin American (Germany, Kosovo, and Dominican Republic). I am currently playing in Albania, but come back to Wisconsin postseason. 

"I’m really excited to be able to help shape kids into the best basketball players they can be. With the success and the blessings I have had over my years of playing, it wouldn't all be worth it to me if I couldn’t share the things I’ve learned in my career with the kids who are trying to follow the same path I once was on.  This is something I have been waiting to do for a long time and am ecstatic to be a part of the Nex-Gen family!
