I started college and became a volunteer assistant at the community college level. I then did the same thing at the Division 1 level. I coached the florida Nike team and during this journey was an assistant at Deland high school and became a head high school basketball coach. I was fortunate enough to coach many NBA players and make connections with many players and coaches of all sports. I hae been able to work for the same school district for 26 years.
