About
The way my service will stand out is that I don’t only just work on the skill development of my students, I also build their confidence and basketball IQ all around. Also I teach the importance of getting the best education possible and give my students advice on how to make the right decisions on and off the court. My Ultimate Goal is start my own Prep school/sports Academy that would encourage students to follow their dreams and also prepare them for the college life!

When I see my students improvement I get really excited! At the end of the day that’s what feed into my passion and motivates me to keep doing what I do!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
My typical process when working with new students is to first take them through ball-handling and shooting drills to first see where their skill level is at, then build off their results and work on their weaknesses.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My education and training experience are that I played college basketball at Robert Morris University. I also have 5 years of training experience working with different players of all ages and skill levels. I’ve trained kids as young as 6 years old all the way through college players. I’ve coached and train players for AAU programs and also coached/trained kids working for the Puma TBT mini camp and also the Derrick Rose 2018 summer camp here in Chicago!
