I grew up in a basketball environment always playing with my brothers and dad. I held my first basketball camp for neighborhood kids at age 11. Through my high school career I helped coach younger players and reffed youth basketball leagues. I went on to play four years of college basketball (NWAC, NJCAA, and NCAA DIII), each year contributing to record setting seasons for the school. My focus in training is to build on the fundamentals of shot form, ball handling, and footwork.
