Greetings Academy Volleyball!

I am very excited to be joining you all shortly. I’m very inspired by the Academy’s dedication and drive and the holistic, positive, deliberate approach to athlete development. I feel a strong alignment with these values. The Academy’s focus on hard work, development, growth, and the athlete-centered learning approach is inspiring.

I look forward to being on the team and part of the developmental process with the athletes, coaches, and staff. My coaching journey has taken me on many adventures. I have been privileged to have coached from High School to the U-Sport level in Canada. Here in the US, I have spent time at the NAIA and NCAA Division 1 levels. Additionally, I have experience as part of a recruiting organization and performed roles as a volleyball performance analyst. Lastly, my path diverged from coaching volleyball at one point, and I was able to coach in the field of Strength and Conditioning at the College level for 5 years. Concurrently, I ran a personal training business focusing primarily on introducing people to fitness and guiding people on their health journeys.

As a person, I am very passionate and focused on inspiring self-belief. My coaching philosophy is built on a foundation of expecting optimal attitude, effort, and enthusiasm from myself and others. Moreover, by focusing on people, purpose, and service, we inspire the developmental process and teach enduring and essential life skills. Growth is very important in my life, and I am thrilled about the experienced coaching staff the Academy has assembled. I have a love for teaching and hope my experiences can add value to the Academy’s vision statement to be the best volleyball club in the country. I am truly excited to meet you all!

Lets Go Academy!
