About
I have been around the game of football since the age of 5 when I started playing pee-wee football. Ever since then it has been my passion. I played all the way through to college. I played high school ball at Apollo-Ridge High school and then went on to play college ball at Division 2 Alderson Broaddus University in West virginia as a fullback. After college I came back to my high school to be an assistant coach. I have been there for 4 years now. I am also an avid gym user so I can assist in strength and conditioning if needed as well.
For a living I am the football Director at the Pittsburgh Indoor Sports Arena in Cheswick. I run multiple Flag Football Leagues that host hundreds of kids each year. I run clinics for all ages. I even got to personally help run the NFL reginonal combine in our area with the Pittsburgh Steelers alongside head scout Mark Gorscak.

I am very well rounded with my football knowledge and can assist players of all ages get better on the field, in the film room and in the weight too.
I graduated from Alderson Broaddus University with my Bachelors in Sports Management and Minors in Coaching and business Administration.
I love seeing players inprove in front of my eyes and take coaching and drills we do in practice and apply them on to field. I take pride in making each player better every single day.
