I'm blessed to be the Wide Receivers Coach for a nationally ranked 2024 Private School Champion! Coaching is my passion, and I’m blessed to have the opportunity to develop high-performing student-athletes while building inclusive, successful programs. It’s been an incredible journey mentoring multiple All-Conference players and an All-State, All-Met standout, but what truly fuels me is seeing my athletes grow not just as players but as people. Before moving to MD, I had the privilege of helping rebuild one of New Jersey’s most historic football programs as the Director of Coaching & Head Coach for the Paulsboro Midget Football Organization. Together, we turned the program into a powerhouse, winning six championships and creating a sense of pride and unity in the community. Now, I’m pumped to bring that same energy and dedication to your athlete, helping them unlock their full potential and reach max performance on and off the field. Let’s get to work!
"Just had our first training with coach Carl this evening and I can not express how impressed we were. His energy and enthusiasm for the game shows in everything he does. He was prepared and ready right from the start. After the training he gave us a honest review of where our son is and then went over a high level plan of how we can structure the training. We look forward to continuing to train with coach carl and will send more updates through the process.
