Lets get right!
I played 8 seasons of professional football in Europe's top leagues, earning 3x Defensive MVP honors and serving as team captain for the Berlin Thunder and Berlin Rebels. Before going pro, I was an All-Region selection at the JC level and an All-Conference honoree at Sacramento. I came out of high school as a zero-star recruit and a JUCO product, so I know firsthand what it takes to outwork the doubt and compete at the highest level. I bring that experience and that standard to every athlete I work with.

About Me:
I'm a former professional football player who spent 8 seasons competing at the highest level in Europe's top leagues, including serving as team captain for the Berlin Thunder and Berlin Rebels. A 3x Defensive MVP in Europe, All-Region selection at the junior college level, and All-Conference honoree at Sacramento, I've earned recognition at every level I've competed. I hold an MBA and have built experience in B2B sales and international operations. My real edge is what I developed on the field: the ability to read complex situations quickly, earn trust in high-pressure environments, and bring out the best in the people around me. I work with athletes who are serious about getting better, not just physically, but mentally and strategically.
How I can help you improve your game:
I help athletes develop the complete package, not just skills, but football IQ, competitive mindset, and the habits that make you consistent when it matters most. I've played at a level where technique alone doesn't get you there. I'll challenge you to understand the why behind every rep, sharpen your decision-making, and build the kind of confidence that holds up under pressure. Whether you're trying to earn a starting spot, get recruited, or take your game to the next level, I'll give you an honest assessment and a clear plan to get there.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Every session starts with intention. We don't just go through the motions. I'll assess where you are, identify what's limiting you, and build each session around targeted improvement. Expect a mix of technical work, concept review, and competitive reps that simulate real game situations. I push hard, but everything has a purpose. You'll leave each session knowing exactly what you improved and what to work on before the next one.
Career summary and accomplishments:
8 seasons as a professional American football player in Europe's top leagues, including team captain for the Berlin Thunder and Berlin Rebels (German Football League). 3x Defensive MVP across my professional career in Europe. All-Region selection at the junior college level and All-Conference honoree at Sacramento. Competed at the highest level of the sport in Europe, developing deep knowledge of what it takes to perform consistently across cultures and competitive environments.
Best coach I ever had:
My favorite and most impactful coach was Jeff Jordan, the head coach at Butte College in Chico, CA. He challenged me every single day, but he was also the most honest and realistic coach I ever had. He had a genuine gift for helping athletes set meaningful goals and actually reach them.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I'm direct, but I lead with respect. I won't tell you what you want to hear. I'll tell you what you need to hear, because that's what the coaches who shaped me did and it made all the difference. I take athlete development seriously, which means I come prepared, I pay close attention to the individual, and I hold you accountable to the standard you set for yourself.

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.

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 college and pro 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 + background check, 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!
