About
I take pride in providing high level basketball training to athletes of all ages and skill sets. I have been privileged to train athletes over the last ten years all over the country.
I have an extensive background coaching at the youth, high school, and most recently college level. This experience has given me a vast amount of knowledge and insight into the game of basketball at all levels.
I aim to provide the best training experience possible for all of my clients. Each client gets an individualized experience which caters to their needs, wants, and current skill set. Whether you are a youth beginner or a pro who is looking to improve before international competition I can help your game.
Lets connect today so you so you can have the full service training experience that I provide all of my clients. I go way beyond just a normal training session once a week. I provide video, input throughout the week, scouting of games, nutritional advice, and more for all clients.
I enjoy being able to see the progress in all of my athletes. I work very hard to ensure my athletes see results and start to take their games to the next level. Your individual goals are extremely important to me and I won't stop working until we acheive them.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Before working with any student I want to get a basic understanding of their current skill level, experience, and their needs as a player. After I gather that information I can create a personalized lesson plan which helps develop your weaknesses, the skills you’d like to develop, and the skills I believe you need to develop. I strive to know as much about my student as possible so I can provide the most comprehensive training plan for them.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Education:
Des Moines Area CC-Sports Management/Coaching
Iowa State University-Kinesiology/Coaching
Experience:
Head Basketball Coach at Elementary, Middle School, and Varsity High School level.
Assistant Mens College Basketball Coach
Basketball Camp Director
Basketball Camp Coach at University of Iowa, University of Washington, Denver University, St. Mary’s University, and University of Colorado NCAA D-1 Summer Basketball Camps.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with 5 year old beginners up to 30 year old semi professional basketball players. I take pride in improving skills no matter the age or background.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Ensure you are choosing a teacher who is planning lessons specifically for you. Too many trainers use the same generic lesson plans for everyone. The focus needs to be on each athlete and how you create an individual plan specific to their skill set, experience, body type, etc.
