What did you major in?  Physical Education and Recreation


What sport(s) did you play?  Baseball, Basketball, Volleyball


How did you become interested in coaching?  I first became interested when i was offered to coach a 14yr old traveling baseball team.  After that first year, I kept coaching and loved the experience i gained from it. 


What is your experience in coaching?  I have been coaching baseball for 10 years at all levels from little league, JV and Varsity to semi pro.  In basketball, I have been coaching for 4 years with experience ranging from middle school to varsity boys baseketball.


What are your expectations from the team?  This year is a molding year.  Our team goals are to gain experience on the court and learn something new each game.  We want to build stronger character and disclipline in each player and will become an institution of competitive scholars and gnetlemen.  We focus on a committment to excellence and to fullfill our duties in these three obligations   1.  Family, 2. School, 3. Basketall.  
How is the team progressing?  We have only played 2 games, 1 was a scrimmage against a Varsity program.  The other was against a JV team.  We lost both but we have gained valuable team and indivivual experiences from both games.  Players are discovering and finding their strengths and weaknesses. 


What are your expectations for next year?  To be the head Varsity coach and after a year of JV at PLP, those that move up to Varsity will already have the correct expectations and visions I have instilled in their minds form last year.  I expect my players to arrive stronger, more disciplined and more determined.  I want Pine Lake Preparatory school to be a competitor in all athletics and make a positive name for ourselves around the communitiy.
