I’m a former NJCAA scholarship athlete, NCAA team captain, 2-Time All-Conference selection, and 1,000-point collegiate scorer. My mission is to help athletes build confidence, master fundamentals, and develop the habits needed to succeed both on and off the court. Whether you’re just learning the game or preparing for varsity and college basketball, I provide personalized instruction focused on skill development, basketball IQ, footwork, shooting, ball handling, and game-ready decision making.

Basketball has shaped my life. I played high school basketball in Florida before earning a scholarship to Pasco-Hernando State College and later continuing my career at SUNY Oneonta. During my collegiate career I became a team captain, earned 2-Time All-Conference honors, and scored over 1,000 career points.
Today I combine my playing experience with my passion for teaching and leadership. I enjoy helping athletes reach their potential while building confidence, discipline, and a strong work ethic that extends beyond basketball.
I specialize in developing complete basketball players. Sessions focus on shooting mechanics, ball handling, footwork, finishing, basketball IQ, confidence, and game situations. Whether you’re a guard looking to improve your handle, a wing working on scoring, or a post player developing versatility, I’ll create a plan that fits your goals and current skill level.
Every session begins with a discussion about goals and areas for improvement. From there we move into skill development drills, game-speed repetitions, and competitive situations that translate directly to live play. Athletes can expect high energy, attention to detail, and immediate feedback designed to accelerate improvement.

The best coaches I played for combined accountability with genuine care for their players. They demanded excellence while helping athletes grow as people. That balance had a tremendous impact on my development and continues to influence the way I coach today.
Athletes and parents can expect professionalism, preparation, and honest feedback. I believe improvement comes from consistent effort, attention to detail, and building confidence through repetition. My goal is to create a positive environment where athletes enjoy the process of getting better while developing skills that translate directly to game performance.

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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
