About Me:
I bring over 30 years of competitive ice hockey experience, including playing at the collegiate level for Indiana University of Pennsylvania's ACHA Division 1 & 2 programs. During my time there, we competed in three National Championship tournaments, with our best finish being 3rd in the country.
How I can help you improve your game:
Helping a player improve their game requires a combination of technical skill development, hockey IQ enhancement, and physical/mental preparation. Here are some key bullet points I approach it from:
- Skill development (Skating, stickhandling, passing/shooting)
- Hockey IQ (Situational drills, file breakdown, understanding systems, positional play, anticipation/reaction time)
- Physical & off-ice training (Strength & conditioning, flexibility and recovery, hand eye coordination)
- Mental approach & confidence building (Goal setting, game preparation, mindset)
- Personalized coaching & feedback (one on one attention, constructive feedback, encouragement & accountability
By combining these points, I can help develop well-rounded confident, and skilled players who can elevate their game and succeed at higher levels.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Depends on the athlete and what they want to achieve. Explain my message and line it up with their goal. We want both coach/athlete on the same page and hard work put in for the entire session.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I'm a USA Hockey Level 4 certified coach currently leading the Haverford Hawks 18UA Gretzky team in the Atlantic Hockey Federation. This season, we finished top 3 in Pennsylvania heading into the playoffs. My coaching experience also includes a previous three-year stint coaching Monsignor Bonner's high school varsity team, giving me experience in developing players at multiple levels.
Best coach I ever had:
Jim Watson, a member of the Flyers' Stanley Cup-winning teams, was the best coach I ever had because he instilled me the full spectrum of what it takes to succeed in hockey. At a young age, he not only taught me the physical skills required to compete at a high level but also emphasized the mental toughness and discipline needed to excel. Beyond individual performance, he showed me the importance of being a good teammate - how to support others, communicate effectively, and contribute to the team success. His influence shaped my understanding of the game and the values I carried with me both on and off the ice.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I'm deeply passionate about the game of hockey and dedicated to helping players grow, refine their skills, and reach their full potential - whether they're looking to improve fundamentals, elevate their hockey IQ, or prepare for higher levels of competition. My coaching style focuses on individualized development, game awareness, and instilling the work ethic needed for success both on and off the ice.
If you're looking for personalized high-level hockey training from someone with extensive experience as both a player and coach, I'd love the opportunity to help take our game to the next level!

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.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
