At Sheridan, I coached them to the furthest, and best finish since they moved to a big school level. At White County I coached them to their first State Tournament in school history. My record at WCC was 200-51. Right now I currently have 378 wins as a senior high Coach. I have coached four players that played in the state all-star game, I’ve coached the AR Democrat Gazette Scholar Athlete of the Year, and have coached multiple players who have gone on to play at the college level. I created the White River Pee Wee Basketball League with 12 other schools. At Russellville, I took over a girls program that had won just 9 games the previous year 2019-20. In the year 2020-21, we won 19 games including 10 conference victories which hasn’t been done since 1997. Also, with high recognition from the National Society of Sons of the American Revolution I received a certificate of heroism for saving a young athlete's life by administering CPR and using the school’s defibrillator. My daughter who I have trained and raised without her mother her whole life plays Division 1 basketball at Purdue Fort Wayne. Conference record total at WCC- 81-9
