My entire life I’ve dedicated to basketball and not only playing the game, but also helping future generations of athletes develop and learn to love the game. Excited to embark on a new opportunity to teach and mentor basketball players.
"Started with Coach Joe struggling to be able to shoot the ball and finish around the rim. Coach taught me so much and my jump shot and ability to score around the rim improved. He taught me keys and trick moves to help me fly past defenders and hit contested shots and I built up my confidence on the court because of him.

Brandon has lived competition at the highest level — a four-year career at Central Washington University that earned him Player of the Decade, All-American honors, and multiple MVPs. But trophies fade. What lasts is the discipline, grit, and mindset forged in the grind. Now, as the founder of Valor Coaching, Brandon takes that same fire and channels it into transforming men into stronger leaders — in the gym, at home, and in life. His coaching is built on visible transformation and backed by data-driven systems that remove the guesswork. This isn’t just training.

The Heart of the Game For me, golf is more than just a sport; it's a profound journey of self-discovery, and unlocking potential is my absolute passion. As a former Division I athlete, I know the fire, the focus, and the grit it takes to perform at the next level. I carry that experience and deep understanding into every lesson I teach while still meeting my students where they're at in their skills journey. For the past seven years, I've walked the fairways and driving ranges as an instructor, guiding players to find the best version of their swing — and themselves. Three of those years were spent in a role that truly defined my purpose, serving with First Tee International's Idaho Chapter. There, I didn't just teach the mechanics of the game; I mentored. I had the privilege of working with players as young as 8 and as mature as 58, proving that the desire to learn and grow knows no age limit. My commitment is to move beyond the technical with you. I offer expert guidance that is deeply tailored to your unique goals, whether you're a junior looking for a college scholarship or an adult seeking that elusive handicap breakthrough. If you're ready to not only refine your skills and elevate your game but to truly connect with the joy, the challenge, and the satisfaction that golf can bring, let's start that journey together. Play well, Jim

Music is a journey, and for the past decade, I've been passionately guiding students to find their way to find their passion and master the art of piano playing. My approach combines technical expertise with creative exploration, ensuring a fulfilling and enriching musical experience. As someone who has a deep interest in music education, I believe that every student deserves a curriculum that caters to their goals and needs. In addition to that, the learning has to be fun to keep the student engage! Two-ways communication is also one of the KEY factors to have a successful learning. 1 hour Lesson outline: - Reviewing last week's lesson [5-7 mins] - Do fun activity (card game, fun technical exercise, singing, etc.) [5-10 mins] - Start with lesson plan (practical) [20-30mins] - Theory lesson [10-15 mins] - Review of today's lesson [5 mins] If you/your kids/your nieces nephew/your parents or whoever else is interested in music learning either to pursue it in serious way or leisurely, everything is possible! Whatever goal you are aiming for, it can be taught in a fun way!
