Best Coaching Memories: (not necessarily in order)

When our 2012 HS boys' team made it to the final 4 (Tournament of Champions) in the state of NJ, the first SJ team to do that since 1998. Coaching club for the first time in 2022 with 16 Hurricane, a 16-3 team that did not play like one.  Having a chance to be a part of (and help coach) during my daughter's club volleyball experience here at TNT after missing so much coaching elsewhere while she was playing HS. Now that's she's graduated, those memories are even more special to me.

Favorite Movie: "Pulp Fiction"

When I'm Not Coaching, I'm ... teaching middle school students how to improve their writing (day job), watching sports, spending time with my family, and making the occasional sports investment. Fun fact - I was a finalist in the FanDuel 2015 World Fantasy Football Championship.
