ABOUT ME

HOW IT STARTED

My journey in basketball began as a collegiate and professional player overseas, where I gained firsthand experience in what it takes to build and sustain winning programs.

 

Competing in multiple countries exposed me to different styles of play, coaching philosophies, and cultures—shaping my understanding of the game well beyond the box score.

​

Those early experiences laid the foundation for my transition into coaching, where my focus shifted toward leadership, development, and creating environments where players and teams can consistently perform at a high level.

MY GOAL & MY MISSON

My goal is to lead with clarity, preparation, and purpose while building cultures rooted in trust, accountability, and communication. I believe sustainable success comes from alignment—between players, staff, and leadership—and from daily habits that reinforce standards both on and off the court.

 

My mission is to help organizations maximize performance by developing people, empowering staff, and building programs that are resilient, adaptable, and prepared for the demands of professional basketball. This approach consistently translates into stronger culture, improved performance, and long-term organizational alignment.
