Different Race...Different Pace... Different When/Win

Sometimes we find ourselves frustrated because we are left asking "when" as we run a race where our "win" seems distant. We must stay consistent and focused on our preparation and our execution so "when" the opportunity of "when" arrives, we can dominate and celebrate the "win".

Mission & Vision

FAITH AND BASKETBALL

Life is a race and individuals need to identify the length and understand what pace they need to move in order to succeed.  My mission and purpose is to help individuals navigate the course of life by helping them find and embrace their purpose and to help them leave a legacy others chase after.

About & Purpose

Born and raised in Akron, OH, I earned a basketball scholarship two years after high school while playing pickup basketball. I played four years at Nyack College and competed with the IBL Cuyahoga Falls Cougars. My coaching experience includes positions at Nyack College and the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, along with international experience at Get Better Academy in the Czech Republic. I also worked with Team Takeover in Washington, D.C., and have established strong ties to the DMV area, where I coached for over a decade.

I believe that even when situations seem impossible, with resilience, a solid plan, and steadfast dedication, you have the power to change your narrative. My purpose is to help you align your success with your true calling while giving you the tools to be your best when the worst is thrown at you.
