I have given private basketball lessons since 2007. I am a former college player at USC Upstate in South Carolina. I played there from 2003-2007. I'm a former record holder for single season 3 pointers made in school history, and I am top 5 in all time in 3 pointers made overall. I was also a 2 time all conference player and a preseason all-american honorable mention. I have experience playing on a travel team in China after college, and I currently hold the record for most points scored in my area's annual high school all star game. I've been playing basketball since I was 3 years old, and I have a wealth of knowledge about the game obtained over years, and years of study and obsession. My father and older mentor have trained me over the years, and I enjoy sharing the knowledge with up and coming players who are inspired to improve their skills. I love working with kids because they are our future, and I love giving them advice to help them along their path. I focus on skill development, both offensively and defensively. I emphasize on footwork, shooting, ball handling, conditioning, attitude, defensive stance, and defensive footwork. I instill both confidence and knowledge into the minds of players. I'm willing to work with players of any age.

Current record holder for most points scored in Annual Upstate High School All Star game. (38) set in 2003.
3 year all Conference Player at Boiling Springs High School
Played as shooting guard at USC Upstate. (2003-2007)
Former record holder for most 3 pointers in a single season (94) at USC Upstate
Top 5 all time in total career 3 pointers (240) made at USC Upstate
All conference player in the Peach Belt Conference (2004-2005, 2005-2006)
Traveled to Beijing, China to play with AIA (Athletes In Action) during summer of 2009

I implement an intense 1 hour group session, where players (anywhere between 2-8 generally) get instructed to practice several college basketball drills focusing on fundamentals, footwork, balance, and endurance. It benefits all players because they learn how to compete and work with others which in turn benefits them for life outside of basketball.
