As a dedicated coach and mentor, I have a big heart for helping young athletes navigate their journey to college. My passion for guiding kids involves general mentorship in church and my community, where I find joy in giving back. Having coached track and field at various levels, I love supporting athletes as they take crucial steps toward their collegiate careers.

My own path as a collegiate track and field athlete was a challenging yet rewarding journey. Through hard work, a competitive spirit, and a commitment to self-development, I had the honor of competing at the NCAA Division I level, contending in the NCAA D1 Track and Field Championships in both the 800 meters and 4×400 meter relay. My journey began at an NAIA school, progressed through junior college, and ultimately led me to my dream university.

These experiences have ignited a passion for the recruiting process and the details that can make a difference in an athlete’s path to success. I understand firsthand the challenges and triumphs involved in this transition, and I am eager to help young athletes make informed and efficient decisions as they aspire to become the next college student athlete. Working with NCSA allows me to combine my love for coaching with my desire to empower the next generation, ensuring they have the tools and support they need to succeed.
