I have over 30 years of basketball instruction, including playing, training and coaching. I've honed a coaching philosophy that emphasizes both fundamental skill development hard work and discipline. My passion is giving a supportive yet challenging environment where athletes can reach their full potential, on and off the court.

With 15 years of experience, I've helped countless individuals develop their game and reach their full potential on and off the court. Coaching both high school and travel basketball for PG Elite. Let's work together to reach your goals!

"First time trying out training and in the first couple of trainings I learned how to attack the basket and use moves that help me get around the court instead of picking up the ball and passing. I plan to continue to get more sessions!

Stepping up to the plate for three decades, I've helped countless athletes perfect their swing and find their stride on the baseball field. I've coached at every level from t-ball up to high school, and currently serve as the varsity baseball coach for an L.A. high school team. Patience, dedication, and effective communication are my calling cards. Whether you're looking to improve your own skills or your child's, I can help you get to the next level.

"I was only fortunate enough to know and work with David Byrne for a little over a month before he relocated to California, but that short time made a lasting impact on my game. I truly enjoyed his passion for golf and his genuine desire to help players get better. David often went out of his way to coach me between lessons whenever he wasn’t already busy teaching others—something I greatly appreciated. At 67 years old, I’m not looking to completely rebuild my golf swing, and David understood that from day one. His approach focuses on helping you find a swing thought that works for your swing, rather than forcing a onesizefitsall method. He helped me understand my swing plane and path, and how to consistently get into the right position before impact. After that, his favorite encouragement was always: ‘Turn the corner!’ And it worked. David is a talented instructor, an insightful coach, and an allaround good person. And watch out for his son—just a wee lad with a fabulous golf swing already! David’s passion clearly runs in the family.
