I’ve played competitive select baseball since I was 9. I grew up in a massively competitive area where select ball was never foreign. I’ve coached with my select team that I grew up with, Canes Southwest. I had plans to play baseball in college, which was cut short due to injury. I look to push my passion towards fueling the younger generation of baseball players to strive and become better versions of themselves everyday!

I’ve been playing basketball for over 15 years, played briefly after college in a semi pro league and was raised by a high school basketball coach. I played collegiate football at Cornell, and have competed against and seen all levels of basketball (except professionally). I enjoy sharing my knowledge of sports, particularly basketball and football, to the younger generation. I’m able to cater to both beginners and experienced players alike. I look forward to contributing to you or your loved ones skill development.

Basketball is my craft: I blend technical rigor, strategic insight, and an encouraging style to elevate each player's fundamentals and game intelligence. I have several years of teaching experience and specialize in skill development, conditioning, and leadership. Fundamentals are keys, muscle memory and confidence.

I wasn’t getting out much and was generally feeling low energy. Megan taught me the power of identifying the things that mattered to me and making a conscious effort to reconnect with them. It was easy to use the four P’s of connection to zero in on how to re-energize my relationships to the people, places, passions and purpose that make me happy.
