Summary
I have more than ten years head coaching experience and many more years individually training athletes and assisting other coaches. I have had success wrestling against high level competition. I was a 1992 IHSAA state runner up, have since earned more than 2 dozen state championships, a couple age group national championships, I won a regional olympic qualifier and competed at the final olympic trials at the RCA dome in 2004. I have coached IHSAA state placers, ISWA state champions and USA wrestling all americans. I believe i would be an asset to the team in helping teach techniques and mentality necessary for success against the highest level of competition. As well, I believe i can be an asset in recruiting with my longstanding local ties to the wrestling community.
