Private Lessons & Coaches in El Dorado Hills, CA

With over 30 years in volleyball, I’ve competed and trained at the highest levels—from Sacramento State OH/Libero to Santa Monica College, where I was ranked the #1 libero nationally and set program records. Post-college, I played alongside Olympians and AVP champions in elite invite-only training environments and multiple NCVA men’s championship teams. I was developed under Olympic coach Marv Dunphy and mentored by nationally recognized coaches and players, which shaped my technical and reads-first approach. As a coach, I specialize in position-specific training—liberos, setters, and hitters—focusing on vision, footwork, and on-time sequencing that translates directly to match play. My goal is to expedite player development so athletes can compete with confidence and consistency at the high school, club, and collegiate levels. I create a supportive yet competitive environment that challenges athletes to maximize their growth every session.
