I have coached student-athletes at the varsity, subvarsity, and youth football levels for the last five years and served as a classroom teacher at public middle and high school levels for six years. I've coached and consulted with Massachusetts high school football players and their families to successfully secure recruitment offers and admissions to the Top 100 colleges and universities in the United States (ranked by lifetime degree value).

Most recently, I served as the Junior Varsity Head Coach and Varsity Defensive Analyst at Boston College High School. This MIAA Division 1, college-preparatory private school competes in Massachusetts' Catholic Conference.

I specialize in long-term development for high school (8th to 12th Grade) student-athletes who desire to realize their highest level of performance and join the 5% of high school seniors in Massachusetts who are recruited to play college football at academically selective colleges and universities (both athletic-aid-granting institutions and non-athletic-aid-granting institutions).

If you are the parent of a student-athlete who has these goals in mind, keep in mind that your student-athlete will face greater challenges on their prospective college-athlete journey than maximizing their raw athletic talent and training. Their main challenges will be to consistently improve their academic performance, capacity to juggle multiple priorities with you as their parent/guardian, and mindset.

I also offer offseason training and conditioning for all football positions for high school players (Grades 8-12), as well as the high school and college selection process for student-athletes (Grades 6-12).

While I offer multiple training services as a coach, my most meaningful specialty to your student-athlete and family will be planning and organizing their college-bound journey with you as a partner.

SERVICES INCLUDE:
- College Athletics Compass (College Football Recruitment Navigation)

- Off-Season (Winter-Summer) Strength & Conditioning

- Off-Season (Winter-Summer) Position-Specific Speed, Explosiveness & Agility Training

COLLEGE NAVIGATION
College navigation begins as early as 8th grade. This is the experience and support that student-athletes and their parent/guardians can primarily expect to receive from me as a college navigation advisor:

- Custom academic planning guides to support their development as students during the school year

- If the student-athlete is a current high school student (Grades 9-12), parents also have the option of working with me to help their family navigate the college planning, recruitment, and selection process.

- If the student-athlete is a current middle school student (Grades 6-8), parents also have the option of working with me to help them navigate the high school application and financial aid process for regional private schools

OFFSEASON TRAINING
In our football program, we say there is no such thing as an offseason. The experience and support student-athletes will receive from me focuses on improving position-specific strength, flexibility, speed, explosiveness, conditioning, and agility in the winter, spring, and summer seasons.

Training student-athletes and their parent/guardians can expect to receive from me as a coach:

- Customized workout plans, guidance, and supervision in completing offseason workouts with fidelity and safety

- Custom recovery, rest, and nutrition planning to support injury prevention and age-appropriate growth goals
