With 15+ years of coaching experience, he contributed to several successful California teams, clinching a state championship in 2006.

I started playing basketball at 12 and I was fortunate enough to play beyond high school.  At the collegiate level I won a national championship. Since then I played professionally in Germany and Africa. My love and passion for the game has recently shifted from not only being a player but to a coach too. I gets so much fulfillment and joy teaching the next generation the game of basketball.

 I have been apart of the Prime program for 12 years; 10 as a player and 2 as a coach. As a Prime player, I played all my years on the tournament team traveling across the country playing at an elite level. I played high school basketball for 4 years at Monte Vista High School and was the team captain my senior year. I decided not to pursue basketball at the next level to focus on my education. I am now a full time student at TCU. I love coaching our youth players to help them understand our values at Prime. I not only want them to be the best basketball player they can be, but also the best person as well.
