Summary
I served as the JV Girls Basketball Coach at McKinney North, where we compiled an impressive overall record of 36–15 across two seasons. In my first year, we finished 19–5, demonstrating consistency and strong team development. During my second year, we posted a 16–10 record and showed resilience by overcoming a 3–4 start in district play, ultimately finishing the season on a remarkable 9-game winning streak.
In addition to my coaching experience, I am a dynamic Skill Development Coach with a proven track record at Ellis Elite Training, where I have helped athletes achieve their personal goals while fostering both skill growth and confidence. I also served as a Graduate Assistant Football Coach at Missouri Valley College, where I led the varsity reserve team to a historic 7–1 season.
My strengths lie in leadership, effective communication, and decision-making, all of which I combine with a team-first mentality to consistently drive success and growth in athletes and programs.
