About
I have played organized basketball for over 20 years and have honed a regimented basketball development plan.
I learned under NBA coach and future Hall of Famer Billy Donavon while in college. I was a member of the practice squad at The University of Florida during the 2013-2014 Final Four campaign. Helped set up practices and run drills with both Men and Women's teams
Certified Referee in the State of Florida for middle school and high school levels, so I have a deep understanding of the rules and regulations
I love spreading the joy of basketball to others. Seeing improvement and that spark of joy when a basket goes in is why I do this
