Every athlete has a beginning and then that moment when everything comes together. I am the guide that takes them along this path more efficiently and effectively! I help athletes build a solid foundation then gain the skills and abilities to take them to the next level. I have coached wrestling from the elementary and high school levels, up to the senior national and international team levels for 15+ years. I coach male and female athletes alike. With Head Wrestling Coach stops in Cleveland and Cincinnati, Ohio, and Indianapolis, Indiana, I am currently the Head Wrestling Coach at South Lake High School in Groveland, Florida. Over the past 15 years my athletes have earned state medals and titles as well as national and international team berths. My athletes accomplishments so far for the 2015-16 season include:

As a Strength & Conditioning coach for 10+ years, my athletes have set state records in Weightlifting, XC, Track & Field, Football, and Wrestling. My athletes focus not only on sport specific skills, but also strength & conditioning, nutrition, and mental training. I have coached Wrestling and Strength & Conditioning in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Florida. I have spent the last 6 years focusing my coaching efforts on the k-12 athletes. I am a member of the National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) and National Exercise & Sports Trainers Association (NESTA). I am a Certified Strength & Conditioning Coach, Sports Nutrition Coach, and Youth Fitness Coach.

I wrestled competitively for 25+ years, from the elementary and high school school levels, in Pennsylvania, to the senior national and international level, winning multiple state and national titles in Folkstyle, Freestyle, and Greco-Roman in Pennsylvania and in AAU and USA Wrestling Nationals. In High School (Pennsylvania) I set school and district records for; Most Career Wins, Most Career Falls, Most Career Tech Falls, and Most Career Takedowns (One of my athletes just broke these record this year), I still carry the school record for Most Takedowns in a Season (146) I was also member of the PIAA state record Track & Field team who ran the 4x400 in 1997. I have competed In Senior Level Wrestling and Power Lifting, and CrossFit for the last 5 years in Central Florida.
