I’ve spent years with the game of basketball, and I don’t plan to step away anytime soon.

I grew up playing on pavement with the boys and watching NBA games after finishing my homework. Basketball was my first love — it carried me through high school and into a college career. Along the way, I made mistakes. I got injured more times than I wanted. And at times, I felt lost without someone to guide me through it. This sport isn't easy. But nothing good is.

​

That’s why I coach.

​

I want to be that guide for someone else — someone who knows the steps, who can help athletes avoid the potholes I hit. I won't lie to you guys, I don't train the pros. But that isn't my goal either. I want to give players the chance to learn the many lessons basketball has to offer and to give many of you a chance at higher levels like college. Basketball is a beautiful game, and I want to bring as many people into it as I can. It’s shaped who I am. It taught me how to work for my dreams. So whether your goal is to make your team or reach college ball, my job is to help get you there.
