Being from the Pittsburgh, PA area most of my life I have always loved sports and Pittsburgh for a long time really was the city of champions. Going to my first Steelers game when I was just 8 years old and following Pitt Panthers along the way. I played a lot of football growing up and did not have the opportunity to play at a collegiate level nor did I have any understanding of how the process even worked. Which brings me to the main joy of my job here at NCSA is getting to help guide families through the process and being a part of something awesome for young student athletes.

Before joining NCSA I spent my years as a Realtor in the great state of Pennsylvania. I was able to help so many families find their forever homes and many young people find their first home. Helping people understand and find comfort in the process that can seem so daunting at times really is why I loved it and why I love that I can extend those feelings into college recruiting. Really helping these families hit the ground running.

Joining NCSA in 2024 as a recruiting coordinator I am excited to help student athletes and their families navigate the college recruiting process! As a father of two I understand that planning college route for students can feel overwhelming. I am here to help understand each family’s needs and desires and get you on the right track to starting this exciting journey in college recruiting.

When I am not helping families, you will most likely find me in the kitchen, I absolutely love to cook and try new methods and recipes. Let’s swap some recipes next time we talk! My favorite thing to cook is breakfast because there really are seemingly unending ways to prepare an egg and with breakfast truly being the most important meal of the day, I love being able to provide that for my family.
