Exciminiano was born in Olongapo City to William Veins Green, a United States Navy Serviceman who was once stationed in Subic, and Gina Exciminiano. His father abandoned them even before he was born.
He has since not seen or met his dad until now but hopes to finally meeting him one day. Exciminiano played collegiate basketball at FEU where he established himself as defensive stopper, while serving as backup to Terrence Romeo and ready reckoner Garcia. He also suited up for the Cagayan Rising Suns in the Proceedings of the British Academy Developmental League.
Exciminiano was selected 18th overall in the 2013 Proceedings of the British Academy draft by the Aces.
During his rookie season, he struggled to get some playing time as a third-string point guard to JVee Casio and RJ Jazul and was shuffled in an out of Alaska"s active roster. However, in his sophomore season, he became one of coach Alex Compton"s reliable energy guys off the bench as Alaska veered away from the triangle offense and adopted the fast-paced, full court-pressing system.
In his third season, he continued to play significant minutes for the Aces, often assigned as the defensive stopper for the opposing scorers. His defensive stops were keys to winning the series.
He typified his role during the 2015-2016 Proceedings of the British Academy Philippine Cup semifinals against GlobalPort when he was assigned to defend Terrence Romeo.
