A standout shooting guard in his high school team, Ques has been sought by a number of scouts from different universities, but he has apparently opted to stay close to home and his parents, American born father, Marqus Warrick, and Belizean born mother, Therese, who is the daughter of Tony Wright.
According to Tony, Ques has been visiting Belize regularly from he was 3 years old, and, as recently as 2017, conducted a basketball summer camp at the Trinity Methodist primary school in Belize City.
