Summary
I am a strong Christian, devoted husband, and a loving father of two beautiful kids who has been blessed enough to coach basketball for a living. I have worked as an assistant in small college now for 10 years and was a high school head coach for 2. I have been blessed to work with and learn from great coaches along the way where I have developed into the coach and man I am today. Coaching and mentoring young people is my calling and I hope to be able to continue developing young people into better basketball players, but more importantly better people along the way.
