- Additionally, I have worked dozens of camps over the years and have experience working with kids of all ages both boys and girls.
Played both basketball and baseball collegiately.
Graduated from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst in Amherst, MA. (Division 1)
- Was an All Atlantic 10 and All New England selection as a centerfielder in baseball.
- Still hold multiple school records and hold the Atlantic 10 Conference record for most home runs in a game with 4 against George Washington University.
Workouts with be high energy and fast moving. I will push an athlete hard but will simultaneously provide positive reinforcement in order to instill confidence. Basketball is increasingly becoming a game of skill where versatility and the ability to dribble, pass and shoot in combination with an understanding of how to play the game is imperative. Developing and honing these skills will be points of emphasis. If you come with a positive attitude and a willingness to work you will love working out with me and you will love the results!!

Client Reviews
Bill (CoachUp client)
My son had a great first session with Brian he took time to establish a baseline in a number of different areas. Brian is easy to work with and his approach will is a good fit for my son. Brian provides a challenging workout and was encouraging to get maximum effort. Looking forward to future sessions.
Brian (CoachUp client)
I am so encouraged...and so is my daughter...for the first time in a long time. Brian was...ready. He had a prepared workout that he developed based on our specific training requests. I absolutely loved that he didn't bring a bunch of gadgets, but just a ball, a court , sweat and an excellent grasp of basketball fundamentals. You can tell he loves the game. I also appreciated that he treated my daughter like a basketball player...and not a girl playing basketball. And while he encouraged her throughout the entire session, he didn't allow her to settle and kept pushing her. I made a comment to my daughter that I didn't know she could do some of the dribble combinations. Her response was...neither did I. We live almost an hour away, but we're more than ready to make the trip. Solid coach.
