With over 30 years on the court and experience competing at the college level, I bring a lifelong love of basketball to every session. I specialize in developing fundamentals—shooting, passing, and defense—for beginners through intermediate players. I coach in Santa Monica at Reed Park and private residences, offering personalized, goal-driven (in writing 😁) training that builds skill, confidence, and understanding of the game. As a father of two teens (one at Pali High and one at SaMo) and a COO by day, I value focus, growth, and helping each player reach their potential.
