Private Lessons & Coaches in Tualatin, OR

Basketball was my first love. Although I didn’t play at the collegiate level, I had the opportunity to coach at the Division 1 level with the University of Portland Men’s Basketball program. During my time there, I led private workouts for our players, assisted with player development, and helped run youth camps on the side. I have worked with high level recruits and seen firsthand what separates good players from great ones. I believe that mastering the fundamentals is what truly elevates a player’s game. My goal is to help players build confidence, sharpen their skills, and understand what collegiate programs look for in their athletes. Every player’s journey is different, so I tailor workouts to match both skill level and personal goals. Above all, basketball is a game of heart — learning how to compete with passion while maintaining control is what transforms a player, both on and off the court.

With a decade on the court, I blend skill and strategy to elevate your game. I provide focused training for all levels, fostering growth through a supportive, engaging approach. My passion ignites potential!

I’ve started playing baseball since I was in kindergarten roughly 18 years ago. In high school I was one of Oregons top players. Also was awarded player of the north when I played in the senior all star games. There I was talked to by many colleges but due to COVID I could only make it into junior college. After two years of college, I ended up going a different route. Where I ended up in the trades. but something was missing. I couldn’t give up the sport. I’m in a men’s league here in Portland where I get to keep enjoying the game. But now with all of my knowledge of the game, I want to share it. Maybe show someone how to love the game as I do.
