Basketball has been a major part of my life for over 15 years. Throughout my journey, I've had the opportunity to compete at a high level, learn from incredible coaches and players, and experience both the highs and lows that come with the game.

In high school, I helped lead Barrington High School to a 3rd-place finish in the Illinois State Tournament and spent two years competing on the Under Armour AAU Circuit with Fundamental U. Along the way, I trained alongside NBA players, overseas professionals, and high-level Division I athletes, gaining valuable insight into what it takes to succeed at the highest levels of basketball.

I played collegiate basketball at Illinois Wesleyan University, where I have served as a team captain and helped lead our program to an NCAA Elite Eight appearance and two Sweet Sixteen appearances. These experiences have taught me the importance of leadership, discipline, and consistency in player development.

While I am proud of those accomplishments, my basketball journey has not always been easy. I've experienced the excitement of earning a starting role and competing in meaningful games, but I've also experienced the disappointment of losing opportunities, facing setbacks, multiple injuries and having to earn my way back. Those challenges taught me resilience, patience, and the importance of continuing to work when things aren't going your way.

Because of those experiences, I understand that every athlete's journey is different. Development is rarely a straight line. There will be moments of success, moments of frustration, and obstacles that test your commitment. My goal is to help athletes navigate those challenges, stay focused on their growth, and become the best players they can be.

Through personalized coaching, structured development plans, and ongoing support, I strive to help athletes improve their skills, build confidence, and develop the habits necessary for long-term success both on and off the court.
