As a former collegiate basketball player with 3 Sweet 16 and Elite 8 appearances, a 4-year starter, and 3-year team captain, I am passionate about coaching and player development. I focus on helping athletes build their skills while fostering teamwork, discipline, and a love for the game. With experience running my own basketball camps and clinics, I’m dedicated to creating a positive and challenging environment for players to grow both on and off the court.
