With a lifelong love for sports and a deep passion for teaching and coaching basketball, I've been making a positive impact on the court. My coaching journey includes two seasons of coaching Varsity basketball, as well as CYO and AAU basketball. I also conduct youth sports training. Let's continue this journey of skill development and teamwork in basketball!

I saw coach Dorant working with someone over the summer and they looked like they were going really hard. I asked him if he could train me and we’ve been working together ever since. He’s helped me get to the varsity level!
