I was born and raised in Endicott, New York. Sports have always played a huge role in my life, as I was a College Football Coach’s son. I grew up on the sidelines, where I learned the value of sports and being part of a team. This led me to attend Canisius College, now known as Canisius University as a Sports Management major. While at Canisius, I was a student manager for the Men’s Basketball Team, Head Manager my junior year, and Assistant Director of Operations my senior year. After graduation, I had a short stint at the University of MIssouri as a Graduate Assistant Coach for Men’s Basketball, before returning home and becoming Head Coach for Seton Catholic Men’s Modified Basketball, as well as Director of Youth Basketball for the City of Binghamton.

Working in Division 1 College Basketball almost 5 years, I understand the recruiting process, and what it takes to not just be recruited, but also what it takes to be a Collegiate Student Athlete. What is most rewarding about working for NCSA is that I have the opportunity to assist Student Athletes in getting recruited, and help Student Athletes and their families understand and learn about the recruiting process and what comes with it. My biggest hope working for NCSA is helping Student Athletes gain the confidence to say they deserve to be recruited, and finding the best place and situation for them, school wise, major wise, and program wise.

I currently reside in the Buffalo, NY area with my fiance Krystin and our Mini Golden Doodle Shay.
