I moved back to my home town of Marietta in 1996. I met several kickers from my Alma mater that were dissatisfied with their experiences at summer camps. They complained of too many kickers and not enough personal instruction. That same summer I began working with kickers in small groups and 1-on-1 private training. I was a volunteer community coach at Marietta HS for 5+ years and have continued working with young kickers and punters from age 12 and up. I have had many kickers go on to play in college. I have approximately 7 kickers competing on that level in 2013.

I am originally from Marietta, Georgia and was a placekicker and punter at Marietta High School. Upon graduation, I went on to be a four year starter at The University of Georgia. I was selected 1st Team All-SEC Placekicker in 1978, 1979 and 1980. In addition, I was a Playboy Pre-Season All-American in 1979 and 1980. I made 5 All-American teams after the 1980 season. The University of Georgia won the 1980 National Championship after beating Notre Dame in the 1981 Sugar Bowl.

I have been coaching for over 17 years and have had many kickers go on to play on the collegiate level. I generally work with kickers ages 12 and up, focusing on fundamentals and developing both short and long term goals.

I operate under the name TOTAL KICKER, because I believe in covering all aspects of athletic growth including weight training, flexibility training and mental focus.

Although I do believe kicking camps are a valuable part of the process, nothing compares to 1-on-1 coaching. I generally work with kickers in a series of 3 sessions spread over several weeks or months. Many of my more serious clients work with me year round. Once a month is generally sufficient to maintain their skills and we focus more on getting stronger during the off-season. For those that aspire to kick in college, we also work kicking off the ground at this time.
