I have coached since my junior year of college as a assistant special teams coach at Northern Arizona. After graduating college my junior year I went to my formal high school Desert Vista were I was a QB/WR coach for the varsity team for a year. Then I went to graduate school in Samford University in Birmingham Alabama a D1 AA football program, where I did one on one and group training sessions on the field and in the weight room for several for there skilled position players. I have been back in the Phoenix area the last 4 years and have continued developing boys into men on and off the field. I specialize in QBs, but do train WR, RB, FS, SS, CB . Have many clients at High Schools and Pop Warner on the east valley.

I also currently help coach a small school called Benson HS during the work week. Last year was my first year coaching the QBs/WR/DB/S and ended up going 13-1, being 5A state runner ups. Was the first season ever to win 13 games and was over 60 years when they last played in a championship game

Grew up in a small town near Payson AZ where I learned to play football, baseball, and basketball. My middle school football team won 12 straight games all shutouts, scoring a whopping 46 point or more a game against other schools in Northern Arizona (Show Low, Blue Ridge, etc) . Once I entered the high school level my family and thought it would be best for me to go to a bigger school in the Phoenix Area, so we moved to Ahwatukee where I attended Desert Vista HS.

As a freshman I started out just playing on the defensive side of the ball as a outside linebacker where I averaged over 16 tackles a game, team ended up 9-0 for the season, with 6 shutouts. Sophomore year by game 3 I was the starting QB / OLB and lead my team to another 9-0 season, I average 2 passing and 1 rushing TD a game, with 12 tackles a game. Junior season I ended up pinching a nerve in my neck lifting weights and had to sit out all summer. I made full recovery just in time for the first game but only play Free Safely most of the season, where I was 2nd on the team for total tackles behind All American Zach Miller. Going into my senior year I was highly recruited as a FS / ATH, I was named preseason All State FS but my heart was always to be the QB at the next level. After the first 3 games my I was the leading rusher in 5A as a QB and beat the #2 and #5 ranked teams in the state and losing to #1 team. We had a very tough schedule and after a few key injuries, we ended up 5-5 and #17 in the power rankings just missing the playoffs. 8 of the 10 teams we played that year made the playoffs and we even beat the team that got runner up that season. After the season us up I didn't put up the stats that I personally should have.

I still ended up with FS offers from Oregon, Nevada, San Diego St, New Mexico, BYU and other small schools. For QB I only got one and that was West Point (Army), great school and opportunity so I took the offer and played QB for coach Bobby Ross.

Once getting to West Point and learning from these great coaches I realized I wanted to teach young men how to play this great game. If I would have known half of what I learned at West Point in High School, the sky would have been the limit. As a freshman I was third string QB and traveled with the team, going into my sophomore year I was competing for the starting QB job until I lost my uncle and grandpa within a week of each other and couldn't come home to my family. So I decided West Point wasn't for me and ended up finishing out my freshman year and transferring to Northern Arizona.

I red shirted my first year there to learn the offense and get ahead in my school work. For the next two years I was the back up QB while playing other positions time to time (FS, WR, RB) and started on most special teams.

Depends on the clients needs and position each session is an hour long unless stated other-wise by myself. Here are some examples I focus on and different types of sessions;

Every athlete learns at different speeds, some drills my be easier for one athlete and harder for another to master. That's why 1 on 1 instruction is so important to focus on that individuals needs and to set up a customized game plan to help that player reach their highest potential in their specific position(s). Sessions typically run for about an hour or a little over.

Speed development and enhancement is a careful balance and combination of strength training, sport training, skill training, and speed training. Limitations in any of these areas can hinder the athlete's ability to improve their speed. Example leg and core strength are essential for speed. The goal, focus, and direction are to enhance each individual's speed, quickness, agility, and body control relative to position they play. Linear speed is important, but the ability to change direction is quite possibly more important than flat out speed. Here we will improve individual's running technique, speed, acceleration, agility, first step quickness, balance, flexibility, coordination, power, drive, explosive starts and reaction to game stimulus.

Develop an objective based goal program with specific conditioning programs for the athlete. Strength and Conditioning Programs are designed to; increase work capacity in all aspects of physical training, strength and power, speed and agility, physical endurance and functional flexibility. Develop a work ethic in terms of physical preparation and recognized as a leader in the field
