Summary
Coaching is not just an occupation for me, it is a passion. The game of basketball has taken me on an incredible journey that is only in its infant stages. I have experienced the game at every level, and am eager to allow my experience to guide me as I lead the next generation of athletes. I have had the opportunity to study the game under great teachers, and have acquired valuable knowledge through remarkable mentors. These men encouraged me to stretch beyond what I believed for myself and their investment into my life made all the difference for me. I look forward to the opportunity to do for others what has been done for me.
