With over 15 years of experience coaching basketball at every level—from youth to high school elite—I specialize in building complete athletes who excel on the court and grow as individuals off it. Since 2008, I’ve trained and mentored players with one goal in mind: real, measurable development. I’ve had the privilege of training Chris David Jr., Wisconsin’s leading high school scorer for the past two years, who now plays Division I basketball at Charleston University. I’ve also coached and developed my own son, who was ranked the #1 4th-grade player in Wisconsin last year and is now the #1 5th grader in the state—a testament to consistency, discipline, and the right training approach. Whether you’re just starting out or chasing college-level competition, my program focuses on: • Sharpening fundamentals (footwork, ball handling, shooting, defense) • Building basketball IQ and decision-making under pressure • Developing mental toughness, confidence, and leadership • Instilling values like work ethic, accountability, and respect My coaching goes beyond drills—I build relationships, push players to reach their potential, and hold them to a standard that helps them grow in basketball and in life. If you’re serious about getting better, staying consistent, and training with purpose, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
