I'm a Coppin State Hall of Famer, a 2x MEAC Player of the Year, and a 2x MEAC champion, and my jersey hangs in the rafters. After that I played professionally, then spent 12 years coaching Division 1 women's basketball. I loved every minute. But D1 coaching owned my calendar, and I wanted to spend more time with my family and be present and active in my daughter’s life. So I made the move: more time with my family, full control of my schedule, and a business built on my own terms. That's how Grassroots Sports & Fitness was born. The impact is the same, it just looks different now. I get to work with athletes at the grassroots level, where the foundation is built and where the right coach can have a lasting positive impact on a young person's life. If you're looking for a coach who builds real chemistry and a personal connection with every athlete, I'm your coach. Let's get to work!
