MS Girls Basketball Coach

"I fell into coaching it seems almost accidental. My daughter decided to join her high school basketball team her Junior year in high school & had never played basketball before.  She fell in love with the game but didn't enjoy sitting on the bench for most of the season. So I told her we would work hard for the whole year until the season started again and this way she could play more minutes in the games. The next year she improved to become a starter on the team as well as earn first team all-conferance honors. The other parents begin asking how they could improve their daughter's basketball skills so I started doing one on one individual trainings. The opening for the girls middle school basketball coach became open last year & that has started my journey to coaching a team. I have thoroughly enjoyed that experience and am looking forward to this upcoming season. In my spare time I also enjoy playing pick-up basketball, traveling & being a father to 2 girls, 18 & 21 years old & my son, 22 years old. I also am a realtor/investor & also have a pest control business as well that 2 of my children help me run. Let's Go Panthers!!!"
