I started my coaching career while I was an athlete at the University of Illinois Springfield. During this time I was the Head Coach for a local AAU program and started a player development business that worked with over 50 athletes in the area. After my athletic career, I joined the Player Development Team for the Dallas Mavericks during the 2019-2020 season. Here I worked directly with top NBA athletes such as Luka Doncic, Jalen Brunson, and Kristaps Porzingis. From there, I spent the next two seasons on staff at Southern Methodist University where we finished with a record of 35-15 and appeared in the NIT in back-to-back seasons. Most recently, I have been working with a basketball analytics company that serves clients throughout the world!

As a player, I spent 4 years playing for the University of Illinois Springfield, a Division 2 program that competes in one of the most competitive leagues in the nation (GLVC). Here, I was the team captain for 3 years, currently hold the program record for most career rebounds, and rank top 10 in games played, total minutes played, and blocked shots. During my time at UIS, I was also actively involved on campus and in the community as a key member of FCA, UBF, and SAAC.

My typical sessions will begin with discussing the goals and expectations of the athlete. From there, we will form a workout regimen tailored to each specific athlete. Every workout will be extremely organized and efficient to ensure no wasted time during the workout. I love to compete and each workout will be fun and challenging as a large majority of my drills have scores and benchmarks, allowing for the athlete to objectively track their improvement between sessions. Lastly, an important aspect of improving as an athlete is HOW to train outside of these workout sessions. Each athlete will not only learn new skills and concepts of the game but will also know how to approach workout sessions on their own!
