About Me:
I grew up in Greenwich, CT, where my passion for hockey took off while playing for the Greenwich Blues. From there, I competed with the Wonderland Wizards in Bridgeport, the Westchester Vipers, and the Westchester Express, among other teams in the area. I played two years of varsity hockey at Greenwich High School before joining the CT Oilers juniors team to pursue my goal of playing college hockey. To further my development, I spent two seasons with the New York Apple Core in the Eastern Hockey League, which led to my commitment to play NCAA Division 3 hockey at King’s College.
I was selected for the league all-star team with the CT Oilers and the New York Apple Core. In college, I was selected for the UCHC All-Academic Team for 4 years and stress the importance of studies with all players that I coach. I was also selected as MAC player of the week after scoring the game winning goal to upset Nazareth University my junior year.
How I can help you improve your game:
I can help someone improve their game in a number of ways. I will communicate with them and work on what they think they need to improve on but I will also tailor lessons based on what I see they can work on as well. Like I previously stated, I want to develop players completely and help them succeed to the best of their ability.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Training will begin with a good stretch/ warm-up to get the blood flowing. Then we will move more into skills based to warm up the hands and feet and eventually move into more advanced drills. I like to stress the importance of little things and not jump right into something. Hockey is all about details and sometimes players need to spend extra time on certain things in order to improve. Each session will look different based on the players skills and experience.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have coached at a number of levels. From the NY Rangers learn how to skate for free program to experienced players looking to further grow their game. I have coached players from the area playing for the CT Junior Rangers, Mid-Fairfield, as well as junior players from when I was coaching with the New York Apple Core. I’ve also run privates with players from all over the area and tailor fitted these sessions based on the areas needing improvement most while also sharpening skills they are more proficient in.
Best coach I ever had:
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Athletes and parents should know that I’m passionate about helping players succeed both on and off the ice. With years of competitive hockey experience—from youth travel teams to NCAA Division 3—I understand what it takes to thrive at every level. I’m not just a coach but a resource, dedicated to developing skills, hockey IQ, and the mindset needed for long-term success. My goal is to inspire confidence, build character, and guide players through their hockey journey with personalized training and honest advice that I wish I had gotten years ago.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
What if I don't love the first lesson?
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you determine the coach isn't a good fit after your first lesson, let us know within 24 hours and you're eligible for a refund. We will also be happy to recommend another coach - be sure to contact our support team.
Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
AU was created by former collegiate and professional athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process and we proudly showcase a 10% acceptance rate, so you can trust you're training with the best.
