About
University of Houston graduate who played D1 basketball also at Michigan State University. I am a Very motivating individual who puts my all into what I do. Clients learn while also having fun, building a relationship with a kid is very important to me, not just instructing them but being the best mentor I can be. I am dedicated , enthusiastic, high energy that reciprocates my game and I also have college experience and study the game from different coaches to different trainers to better myself.
What I enjoy most is getting a kid who has never touched a ball and developing them into this player they never saw coming .
