Driven by a lifelong passion for basketball, I've spent the last 25 years fostering talent and sportsmanship in aspiring athletes. My coaching philosophy centers around building a strong foundation of meticulous detail, fundamental skills, strategic thinking, and teamwork to help each player reach their full potential. Let's connect and take your game to the next level.

Basketball was my first love. Although I didn’t play at the collegiate level, I had the opportunity to coach at the Division 1 level with the University of Portland Men’s Basketball program. During my time there, I led private workouts for our players, assisted with player development, and helped run youth camps on the side. I have worked with high level recruits and seen firsthand what separates good players from great ones. I believe that mastering the fundamentals is what truly elevates a player’s game. My goal is to help players build confidence, sharpen their skills, and understand what collegiate programs look for in their athletes. Every player’s journey is different, so I tailor workouts to match both skill level and personal goals. Above all, basketball is a game of heart — learning how to compete with passion while maintaining control is what transforms a player, both on and off the court.

With six years of high school basketball coaching experience and 15 years of playing experience, I bring high energy, a fun atmosphere, and a results-driven approach to every session. My coaching style is simple—work hard, get better, and get out. I focus on sharpening skills, building confidence, and maximizing efficiency so players see real improvement fast. Whether you’re looking to refine your shot, improve your footwork, or develop a stronger basketball IQ, I’ll push you to reach the next level. With firsthand experience as both a player and coach, I know what it takes to compete and improve. If you want high-energy, no-nonsense training that delivers results, let’s get to work!

With 8 years of basketball instruction, I foster skill development in a positive environment. I'm committed to helping players of all levels achieve their full potential on and off the court, while still keeping it fun!
