Coaching Philosophy: I view coaching as my ministry! I feel God has given me a platform to use to help expand His kingdom. Coaches have a great ability to influence the young men and ladies they coach and I take the calling to coach very seriously. I feel it is vital to mentor these young men and encourage them in their relationship with Christ while at the same time give them tools to be successful on the court.
Life Verse: For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and gave His life as a ransom for many. Mark 10:45
