(872) 273-0041

I am happily married to my wife Vanessa, a former college hooper and track star, and the proud father of three beautiful children. As the son of a high school football coach, born and raised in Metro-Detroit I have been blessed to be around the greatest game on earth for my entire life. I had the fortunate opportunity to play football at the NCAA II level after my high school career. After my playing career I was a Graduate Assistant for a short time at Northern Michigan where I played. After stepping away from the game briefly to start a career in the customer service industry. I was blessed with the opportunity to coach alongside my Father in the Metro-Detroit area. After 7 years at the high school level, I returned to the DII college coaching ranks for a quick year before the head coaching job at my former high school opened up. Where I am still the Head Football Coach.

Seeing young men achieve goals of playing at the next level and earning the grades to sign and continue their academic careers at various universities across the country is one of the most rewarding aspects of coaching. As the son of a coach, a former student athlete at the college level myself, experience as a college coach and high school coach, I have had the opportunity to see the recruiting experience from all sides. The opportunity to exclusively help Student Athlete and families enjoy and succeed in the same journey I have seen so many times is a dream come true.
