Why do you coach?
As a former Division I college athlete and an Infantry Officer in the United States Marine Corps, coaching is a natural progression. I enjoy working with determined athletes, who are passionate about their training and goals. My fulfillment comes when the athlete reaches or exceeds his or her goals.

Why do you work for Vision Quest Coaching?
The atmosphere at VQ is like no other training facility. From the leadership to the athlete, it is a wonderful place to grow as an athlete as well as a person. The positive energy at VQ brings out the best in everyone.
Favorite pastime when not training or coaching:
There’s nothing like a fall Saturday watching college football.
