As captain and linebacker for the Yale football team in 2016, I know what it takes to compete—and succeed—at the highest level. With over 8 years of coaching experience, I specialize in developing elite, well-rounded football players. My focus goes beyond the field: I help young athletes sharpen their skills with top-tier drills and coaching, excel in the classroom, and navigate the college recruitment process with confidence. Whether you’re chasing a starting spot or a scholarship, I’m here to help you reach your full potential—on and off the field.

For the past 15 years, I’ve dedicated myself to shaping young athletes and fueling their passion for football. I bring structure, strategy, and motivation to every training session—customizing programs for all skill levels and empowering players to grow in confidence, discipline, and leadership on and off the field.

Currently the HS safeties coach for the 5A State Champion Smithson Valley Rangers. Expertise on defense allows me to work with the offense as well. We will work on gaining elite skills while also becoming a high IQ football player. I can put you in the mind of the defender and help you on both sides of the ball. I also coach baseball for Smithson Valley HS. I am available for baseball lessons as well. Lessons for any position defensively along with hitting and base running, it will be your preference.

I discovered tennis early in life starting playing around age 10 and over the next 30 years it naturally became an innate passion. As a youth and young adult I spent my summers at Newcombe as a camp counselor-pro. Then after HS I joined the UTSA mens singles team. I choose a career and have spent the last 17 years in Real Estate / Sales Management. I have been playing club tennis on and off and due to my caring nature this also means I've been coaching as well. WEITHER ITS Dropping SOME WEIGHT, PREPARING FOR A TOURNAMENT OR JUST AN INTRODUCTION TO THE SPORT I GUARANTEE YOU WILL EXCEED YOUR GOALS. I love people, helping and the satisfaction that comes with watching someone improve their game so more often then not I was asked to join the pro staff to help players of all ages. I will work with anyone 10-65 years of age pending a letter from a doctor clearing individuals over 55. THANK YOU AND HAVE A BLESSED DAY,
