Coaching Highlights
Over 20 years experience as a youth, high school, and collegiate coach
Have coached lacrosse, football, basketball, track & field, soccer, and strength & conditioning
Coached linebackers, safeties, defensive ends, running backs, wide receivers, and have coordinated both offensive and defensive sides of the ball.
Coached all individual positions in lacrosse including attackmen, midfielders, defenders, fogos, and goalies, and have coordinated both offenses and defenses.
Have extensive experience as a scout in lacrosse and football, where I have shown a very high level of ability to break down a team's offense, identify trends and signal systems, organize that information into an easily consumable format for players and coaches, and communicate information in-game against that opponent to improve my team's chance at success.
Was a lead football scout for Westlake, Vandegrift, Round Rock, Akins, Anderson, Steele, and Johnson.
Recruited 55 players to the Grapevine HS Lacrosse team in our initial season by staying closely tied to the football program, and selling players on the idea that football and lacrosse are complementary and beneficial for each other.
Took the Grapevine HS Lacrosse team to the Class C State Championship in only our 3rd season.
