The game of basketball has given me so much joy in life! I love the way the ball sounds when you bounce it. I love the way the net sounds when the ball goes in. I love shooting on mini hoops, regulation sized hoops, swimming pool hoops, and anything in between. If there's a hoop and a ball, I'm playing. Heck, I remember playing on crates when I was younger. I love playing inside, outside, it doesn't matter. I love getting into a stance and locking somebody up on defense. I love outhustling everybody on the other team for loose balls. I love making my teammates better and being a leader on the court. I want to share my 35 + years of basketball knowledge and experience with boys and girls of all ages in hopes of helping them become the best basketball players and human beings they can possibly be (they go hand in hand). If you bring me on as your personal basketball coach, we will spend time on the court (offense and defense) as well as break down film (watching film is what helps you pick up on new moves). I look forward to working with you!

Ever since I can remember, music has been the beginning and the end in my life to find peace like no other, endless layers of self discovery to our human nature as well as an the genuine, meaningful connections to the most incredible people and experiences I’ve been lucky enough to live through. Those connections can be found in all kinds of ways, different stages in our journey which compose the song of our day to day. I’ve found that through sharing and teaching all aspects of it, you get back ten-fold of what you ever give and also find gems along the way which you never thought were out there. Sharing my passion and perspective of the unbelievable world of music is a huge privilege I have, it’s a true blessing which I take to heart as a responsibility for our future generation of musicians so let’s explore some of it together!
