About Me:
I’m a Cabarrus County native who grew up playing high school basketball before continuing my career at the collegiate level. After my playing days, I moved into coaching and spent time coaching at the NCAA Division II level, gaining valuable experience working with high‑level athletes and competitive programs.
With 8 years of coaching experience, I’ve helped develop players across multiple levels and have built a reputation for teaching the game with clarity, energy, and a strong emphasis on fundamentals and player development. My goal is always to help athletes grow—on and off the court, in their confidence, and in their understanding of the game.
How I can help you improve your game:
I focus on developing complete basketball players—athletes who understand the game, compete with confidence, and grow through consistent, intentional work. My approach blends high‑level skill development with the habits and mindset needed to succeed at both the high school and collegiate levels. Whether you’re aiming to sharpen fundamentals, elevate your basketball IQ, or prepare for the next level, I provide clear instruction, detailed feedback, and a player‑first approach that meets you where you are and pushes you forward.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A session with me is structured, competitive, and built around purposeful repetition. I focus on developing complete players, so each workout blends skill work, decision‑making, and game‑speed reps.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Experience playing and coaching at both the high school and collegiate levels. Has coached multiple players who advanced to NCAA Division I and Division II programs and more than a dozen All‑Conference athletes.
Best coach I ever had:
All have been crucial to me during my development process. Each coach I played for was exactly what I needed at that point of my career.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
At the end of the day basketball is my avenue to reach and teach athletes. The life lessons transcend the game, and are bigger than basketball.

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.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.
