I am a multi-sport coach and administrator with over 30 years of experience in basketball and tennis across Edmonton, Alberta. My basketball coaching career spans from junior high school through high school varsity and provincial representative teams, including leading Basketball Alberta Zone teams to provincial medals. I have served as Head Coach at multiple schools including Archbishop Jordan, J Percy Page, and Riverbend Junior High, working with both boys' and girls' programs at various age levels. I also played college basketball at three institutions. In tennis, I served as President of Tennis Edmonton from 2015 to 2019, where I launched the Team Tennis Inter-club League and organized the Alberta Inter-club Provincial Championships. I am a competitive Masters tennis player, winning Gold in Men's Doubles at the 2016 Americas Masters Games and competing at the 2013 World Masters Games in Turin, Italy. I hold Basketball Canada coaching certifications and have attended multiple Nike Basketball Coaches Conferences. My passion lies in player development and building competitive programs from the ground up.
