About
My knowledge best and not skipping the minor details that make the world of a difference separates me from the competition. I am not just a trainer but also a mentor, and will help out any way I can through a athlete's life journey
Being able to see the development happen in real time. Helping somebody get from point A to B and reaching that next level is very rewarding for me. It also helps that I love to play basketball.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Connecting with the parents and athlete on a personal level is always the first step. Building a relationship is the basis of any communication we have.
1. First and foremost I would complete an evaluation session to see where the prospect is talent/skill-wise. Find what we need to build on, tweak, or change altogether.
2. From the evaluation create a plan that tailors to the athlete and their current skill set.
1 3. Go over the plan with all parties involved and get their input. Then follow what was decided on and get results!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been a coach for 10 years & a trainer for 8 years. Prior to those years, I've played basketball from the age of 7. Also played throughout my middle and high school years.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
How did you get started teaching?
I began teaching by doing group training with a couple of my friends and we started a 9U AAU team called HVA. From there I really knew I had a passion for working with the youth and began my training business.
What types of students have you worked with?
All types. From elite to beginner. I enjoy working with all levels because all of them have their advantages.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
The dribble clinics I run are not just about dribbling. We work on passing, defense, conditioning, shooting along with other things. It is a fun interactive atmosphere the kids enjoy and wish to come back to.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Find someone who invests in you. Somebody who actually cares to see your growth and takes the time to explain each aspect they are teaching you. A teacher's patience would be the greatest asset for your growth.
