Personal Statement:

"I feel lucky to have the opportunity to give back to the game every day. I see a bit of myself, or someone I played with, in every player I work with, and I pride myself in connecting with each player that I come in contact with. If a player works hard and has passion for the game, it's my job to make them a good player by training and coaching them properly."
