- Short Bio
- I played my college ball at an NAIA D2 private school in Santa Cruz, California called Bethany University. After graduating from Bethany I then got an oppurtunity to be the top assistant at William Jessup University for the women's team during the 2008-2009 season.
This summer I got involved with a great AAU program NorCal Elite and got the opportunity to coach some of the best female high school basketball players in Northern California. Thus far we have traveled to tournaments in Oregon and Southern California as well as Nashville.
This fall I will be coaching at Dominican University as an assistant coach for the women's basketball team. I will assist Dominican University in their transition into becoming a NCAA D2 member. We will participate in the Pacific West Conference with schools from Hawaii, Arizona, Utah, and California. I am definitely looking forward to the upcoming season.
As a coach my greatest strengths are teaching offensive fundamentals, shooting mechanics, and offensive decision-making.
This past year my responsibilities included assisting with recruiting, point-guard and wing development, teaching defensive zone principles, teaching press principles, assisting in implementing offensive play sets, and substition rotations.
