I've coached and played quarterback for over 20 years. As a player, I didn't have a position-specific coach until I got to college; so I spent countless hours researching and learning how to play mechanically and how to read defense. Today, I am passionate about sharing this knowledge at all levels to help my athletes prepare for the next level and understand the fundamentals of the game. I coached the quarterbacks as a GA at Framingham, where my quarterback student went on to be the most successful quarterback in school history. After that, I coached quarterbacks for a year at Curry College, where I turned a tight end into a league all-star that broke several of my previously held conference single-season pass records. After that, I went on to coach freshmen at Marshfield High School for 2 years. Finally, I coached quarterbacks for 3 seasons at Scituate High School (varsity) and Offensive Coordinator (JV) prior to the pandemic. At Scituate High, I turned a safety into a league all-star quarterback (who went on to play in college). And most notably in my time at Scituate, I coached one of the top young athletes in the state on my JV team as a sophomore (Able Lopes). Though he was running rampant over every JV team we saw on Saturday mornings, I had to have the tough conversation with him, his parents, and our varsity head coach about moving a successful QB to WR. Fortunately, they took my advice, and more fortunately still, it was the right call as Able went on to be a top receiver/athlete in the state, earning a full ride to Bentley University. As a coach, I will help you find your strengths and guide you to the best possible position for you

I've coached and played the position for over 2 decades. As a player, I was a 2 time all-scholastic and league all star on a contending division 1 team in high school. I was also the offensive player of the year for the league in my senior campaign, as well as team MVP. From there, I went on to Merrimack College where I earned my first Gold Helmet and Division 2 offensive player of the week honors in my first start. I went on to earn weekly athletic honor roll mentions in 3 of my 4 starts before injury. After my junior year I transferred to Framingham State where I quarterbacked them to their first winning season in school history. I was named conference player of the week multiple times, League All-Star and 2nd Team All East. After college I went on to play for team America in the Euro-America challenge in Warsaw, Poland for 2 seasons.

In my experience, every player is different—with unique skill sets and different motivational needs. My job is to figure out how to best motivate you, while identifying your strengths and weaknesses as an athlete, then coaching to both.

A typical session with me starts with basic stretches and throwing arm mobility. From there, we move into ladder drills because footwork is paramount—especially for QBs running zone read concepts, where we’ll work on making those reads.

We’ll build up intensity with ladder, bag, wave, and pressure drills, finishing each rep with a throw. After that, we transition into routes on air. Some will be traditional, others will include a one-man trigger, where you’ll read me simulating a defender—do I run to the flats or drop to hook/curl? Your job will be to throw off of my movement, just like in a live game.

We’ll wrap with a cool down and chalk talk. As a player, I learned more about defense in my first hour of college ball than I did in the previous 10 years. My goal is to pass that knowledge on to you. We won’t just grow physically—we’ll soar mentally.
