BASKETBALL EXPERIENCE:
My love of the game was developed playing against my brother in our driveway and grew to training professional basketball players heading into the NBA draft. Most recently I have shifted to youth athletes, high school specifically, here in the Memphis area. My time spent with West Virginia Men's basketball was an incredible learning experience that helped excel my coaching and training career into the NBA Gatorade league.
My successes includes 5 NCAA tournament appearance; including a Big East Tournament Championship and a Final Four in 2010, as well as an NBA Gatorade League Championship in 2013. During my time in Memphis, I won a state championship in 2020 with Houston High School.
My goal with LifeTime Basketball is to grow the game by creating a desire for my athletes to want to improve. Finding a love for the game is the first decision every youth athlete makes before they start to improve; there is not a better place to help facilitate that decision than here at LifeTime Basketball.
