With over 25 years dedicated to basketball, I blend strategic insight with enthusiastic instruction. I empower athletes to elevate their game through personalized training, fostering both skill and confidence. My commitment is to help you achieve your full potential on the court. I grew up in the paint as a power forward, battling under the rim, setting hard screens, and grabbing every rebound I could get my hands on. Then my growth spurt slowed, and my game had to evolve. I transitioned into a traditional point guard, learning how to control tempo, read defenses, and set my teammates up for success. That shift gave me something most players never get — firsthand experience playing both big and small positions, front court and back court. Because of that, I teach the game from every angle. I can break down post footwork for a forward, explain defensive rotations like a coach, or fine-tune ball handling and court vision for a guard. I understand not just what works, but why it works, and how to adapt it to any body type or skill level. Off the court, I approach conditioning like a scientist. I know how the body moves, recovers, and builds strength for basketball-specific performance. My training blends court skills with smart physical preparation so you’re faster, stronger, and able to outlast your competition. Whether you want to tighten your handle, develop a deadly midrange, dominate in the paint, or improve your stamina, I’ll help you build a complete game that fits who you are as a player.
