"We have been booking lessons for my daughters with CJ for the last 3 years! My daughters were originally scared of being in the ocean but after their first lesson with CJ they were super comfortable with being out there. CJ was very thorough in his instruction and super effective in communicating with my kids. We will definitely continue to take lessons with him whenever we are in SoCal!

I’m a lifelong student of the game, raised in a family of coaches, and I’ve spent years in the gym studying how players actually improve. I care about the details—footwork, decision-making, and building skills that show up in real games. Every session is focused on helping players grow their confidence, understand the game, and become more effective when it matters. I built my own game around efficiency—shooting over 60% from three with a 3:1 assist-to-turnover ratio—and that same approach is what I now use to help players improve and reach their potential. Above all, my goal is to help players develop a genuine love for the game that lasts a lifetime.
