Private Basketball Training & Coaches in Thousand Oaks, CA

I’m a lifelong student of the game, raised in a family of coaches, and I’ve spent years in the gym studying how players actually improve. I care about the details—footwork, decision-making, and building skills that show up in real games. Every session is focused on helping players grow their confidence, understand the game, and become more effective when it matters. I built my own game around efficiency—shooting over 60% from three with a 3:1 assist-to-turnover ratio—and that same approach is what I now use to help players improve and reach their potential. Above all, my goal is to help players develop a genuine love for the game that lasts a lifetime.

For a decade, I've been driven by a passion for unlocking the potential within every basketball player. My coaching blends technical expertise with a supportive and engaging approach, making learning both effective and fun. Let's step onto the court together and elevate your game!

"Very helpful and will explain things deeply.

I have over 30 years of basketball instruction, including playing, training and coaching. I've honed a coaching philosophy that emphasizes both fundamental skill development hard work and discipline. My passion is giving a supportive yet challenging environment where athletes can reach their full potential, on and off the court.

With over 25 years of basketball playing experience, I cultivated my own skills and passion. I wasn't training with fancy trainers, I was simply putting the work in needed. This "back against the wall" mentality led me to division 1 basketball and playing professionally overseas for 6 years. When injuries took over, I began training aspiring pros coming out of college with no contract. I focused on the building of two players and both ended up getting contracts overseas. I train high school and middle school kids as well, but they must have a deep passion to get better. My focus is on personalized training to elevate each player's game in the respective ways needed for the individual. I bring seriousness, passion, planning, execution and expertise to a commitment of helping young aspiring hoopers excel.
