Since I was young, basketball has been used to identify who I am.  The sport has taught me the value of hard work, how to get along with others, and a whole bunch of other cliches that I found out firsthand to actually be true without even realizing it at the time.  Most importantly, it has provided me with the opportunity to share those principles long after my playing days concluded.  I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity Shekinah has provided that allows me to pass along those lessons in a Biblical setting.

 

I graduated from Ontario High School in 2004 and from Mount Vernon Nazarene University in 2008.  Since 2009, I have been working for the Department of the Treasury.  My basketball coaching career began at Cypress Christian School, where I coached the middle school boys team from 2010-2015.  Prior to transitioning to Shekinah, I spent a season with Ohio Elite Basketball Academy, an AAU program in Central, Ohio.

 

I am incredibly grateful for my wonderful wife Laura, my 5-year-old son (who is already a walking bucket), and my 2-year-old daughter.  My hobbies include playing sports, inventing board games, and being disappointed by my favorite teams (Bulls, Indians, and Browns).
