Why Train With Me?
A former professional player and NCAA coach, who enthusiastically believes that every player can reach their potential with the right trainer. After a stellar Division I basketball career, I played 10 years in Europe's top leagues, and was later a lead assistant coach at the NCAA level. I love teaching the finer points of the game, while pushing players of all ages toward their goals.
