Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Get to know them. What is their age? What is their experience? What is their physical development? What is their technical knowledge.
What current Football schemes are they operating within- I need to make them better players but I need to be respectful within their current coach’s scheme.
If the player has game film or practice film we could review it together.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I’m a veteran high school football coach for 28 years in both Washington and Florida.
I am an expert in preparing OLineman & DLineman for successful playing careers.
During my career, I have coached well over a hundred young people who went on to play college football and six who played in the League.
In 2018, my Center was voted unanimous OLineman/DLineman of for the Tacoma, Washington area over many physically larger DI committed players. During that season we averaged 8.5 yards per play on offense scored 64 TDs while only giving up 3 sacks.
During the 2019 offseason, I worked for the first time as the OLine Coach for the local semi-pro South Sound Nighthawks and they won their first championship. The players and owner would tell you their achievement was directly tied to me being there.
I was recognized as SPSL League Assistant Coach of the Year in 2011 after an undefeated season.
I’m also a Dad of six kids, a Special Education teacher of high school kids with autism or cognitive/Behavioral Disabilities for 18 years as is my wife.
