Really liked how open and suggestive he was with certain tips and tricks. Thoroughly enjoyed the session for its entirety and felt he was helping me. His practice was the perfect balance of drills and work. Overall great coach and good person.

My 9 year old son loves being coached by him. What I liked most about him that he came prepared and his lessons are structured. Will work with him.
