About
Shooting is a skill that can be learned by anyone who is coachable and willing to understand. I pay keen attention to detail & I enjoy sharing the process of becoming better at this craft. All sessions are tailored to the player's needs and goals.
I took basketball very seriously throughout my playing years & I enjoy the passion this game brings out of myself and others. Knowing that the information I'm sharing with a player can potentially change their life and help them in ways I cannot imagine, is what drives me. I had plenty of trainers and coaches that went out of their way to make sure I was doing my best and learning the game efficiently, and I want nothing more than to pay it forward.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
The first session is about getting to know the player's needs and goals. Overall assessment of player's basketball shooting ability will be done as well in order to project a path forward.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
In high school I was a 1,000 point scorer. I then played 4 years for The City College of New York where I became one of the nation's leaders in total 3 pointers-made, while shooting 43% from 3. My experience working with players ranges from elementary to college levels. I have provided indoor, outdoor, and even virtual training for players across different states and countries.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I base my price on the value I believe I am giving to each player I work with.
How did you get started teaching?
After finishing my collegiate career, I became an assistant coach for my college team. After that season I moved to Florida and began training players individually and in group settings.
What types of students have you worked with?
Elementary to college, inexperienced to experienced. Ages 8-55.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Vet the teacher to make sure that they are not only knowledgeable on the subject, but are also continuously learning and progressing within the field.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What are my goals? Am I coachable? Am I willing to let somebody teach me and help me? Where am I now compared to where I need to be in order to reach those goals? Am I willing to put in real, hard work? Do I understand that success within any field does not come easily?
