Bio

I am an Alumni of Valparaiso University, where I played 4 years of division 1 basketball under the coaching of the one of the most winning-est coaches in the history of the NCAA, Coach Homer Drew.

Throughout my 4 years of playing, I have learned a lot and developed my skills to the point where I am now a member of the Jamaica national basketball team and also play professional basketball in Europe.

I am an Alumni of Valparaiso University, where I played 4 years of division 1 basketball under the coaching of the one of the most winning-est coaches in the history of the NCAA, Coach Homer Drew.

Throughout my 4 years of playing, I have learned a lot and developed my skills to the point where I am now a member of the Jamaica national basketball team and also play professional basketball in Europe.

Throughout my college career and after, I have always enjoyed working with players of all ages and even volunteering at the local YMCA to help players develop their skill of the game just like I was able to do mine. I was fortunate enough to have almost played every position in college, so I have a good grasp of the work that needs to be done to develop each area of the game. I am originally a shooting guard/small forward, so I have in-depth knowledge of those positions, which would make my specialties ball handling, shooting, footwork, defense, pivoting, playing off screens, moving without the ball and passing. I focus on teaching the small details that will give you that extra edge on the court.

In all of our sessions, we will aiming for growth and development, so, therefore, no sessions will be the same. I will always strive to bring something new to the table, but if there is a specific skill to focus on, I will incorporate that development in different ways. With that said, I normally start a session with a dynamic warm-up, followed by shooting and skill development and conditioning. At the end of each session there will be goal-oriented game targeting a specific task or skill.
