I have two years of formal coaching experience and three years of training experience coaching. I love working with guys on their skills on both sides of the court.

Currently, I am an assistant men’s basketball coach at Benedictine University Mesa which is an NAIA in Mesa, Arizona.

Last year I coached men’s basketball at Knox College which is a D3 school out in Galesburg, Illinois. I was the player development coach there and worked with development skills and academics.

I played collegiate basketball at Lake Forest College as a guard. Playing 20 minutes a game coming off the bench while being team captain and leader my junior and senior year. I was all academic team each year throughout my career as I made sure to stay focused on the classroom and basketball.

I also played high school basketball at Millennium high school and got to play with and compete against some of the best players in the country at that time. I was able to use those skills to become the player I was and the coach I am today.

A typical training session will start with stretching to loosen up the muscles and make sure that athlete is ready to go for the workout. Then we would get into ball handling and finishing around the rim. We would then depending on the skill level either start to work on off the bounce mid ranges and/or catch and shoot. Next would be some 3 point shooting if the player is capable of shooting from that range. We would then finish with some conditioning and free throws while we are tired to simulate late game shooting.

During the workout there will be sprinkled in water breaks when the athlete needs but not too many as you won’t always be able to have a break during games.
