I have been coaching and training kids for over 7 years part time. I worked at the Excel basketball camp which is one of the best camps in the country and also did group and individual trainings on the side. I committed to training full time back in winter of 2017. I was the former Head JV coach at Harvard Westlake in Studio City and also help out with the West Coast Elite basketball program (coached 13U and 15U). I have worked with kids and players of all ages. From 6years old, up to the NBA. I was fortunate and blessed to work with Pure Sweat basketball and be mentored by one of the best trainer in the industry, Drew Hanlen. I have worked with over 50 NBA players- (Jayson Tatum, Joel Embid, Zach Lavine, Kelly Oubre Jr., Bradly Beal, Gordon Hayward, Meyers Leonard, KCP and Markelle Fultz to name a few). I love working with all players. Whether you are just learning the game or an NBA player I take the same preparation in my training to deliver to you the best possible workout to develop your skills and get in game results. I have my gold standard coaching license by USA basketball. I have also taken additional measures to develop myself as a basketball trainer. I am I'm Possible Certified by one of the greatest trainers that pioneered the industry, Micah Lancaster. I combine skill enhancement training with game skills training to give my athletes the best chance to round out their overall skill. I am about developing the player as a whole. Not about developing them for a specific position. I will make you the most skilled basketball player you can possibly be, so that you can fit into any system. Not going to put you in a box and just make you a system player. That stunts development. Lastly, I take pride in my best trait and that is my understanding and teaching of shooting the basketball. I am a shooting specialist. I have reconstructed and helped over 200 players fix their jump shot and become a more consistent shooter. I love helping players make more shots and score more, because after all, for me, the most fun part of the game was hitting 3's.

I have played basketball since I was 4 years old. I played it all through high school and college as well. Some of my biggest athletic accomplishments were being the MVP of my high school team- a 3 year team captain and winning two league championships and scoring 16ppg, which is no small task. In addition, I went on to play junior college ball at DVC, where I got my name retired in the program hall of fame. I won the coach’s award two years in a row, most prestigious basketball award at the school, as well as being team captain for both my years there. I went on to play division 1 basketball at Loyola Marymount University (LA) under head coach Mike Dunlap. I finished up my career doing a 5th year at a division 2 power house in Georgia, called the Unviersity of West Georgia, where I played and got my MBA.

When my players work with me, what they can expect is getting some of the best training on the west coast. No one in LA trains like me. I am the only skill enhancement trainer that is certified by I'm possible at this time. I utilize tools (cones, med balls, grip mats, etc.) to hold my players accountable in our workouts to proper body positioning and spacing. I pride myself on being very detail oriented and breaking down players mistakes via film. I film a lot of my sessions so that I can play back and show players where they are making their mistakes so that they can correct it. In addition, I have become a shooting guru. Teaching younger players how to shoot the ball with proper mechanics has been my specialty for a long time now. I learned how to properly shoot the ball at a young age and have been on a quest to learn more and teach kids the Art of Shooting. I first start all my kids off with building and mastering their own shot. Every player is different and every shot is different but I have 5 key principles that I believe all shots should have. In each of my sessions we will do ball handling and footwork, finishing and shooting + shot mechanic breakdowns. My sessions run for 1 hour.
