My oldest son graduated from the football program. My youngest son is an active football player. My daughter is a cheerleader, and my wife is a head cheerleading coach. I have been a head coach for seven seasons at two different levels.

FLFA experience & philosophy

“Going from a player to a coach has been an incredibly rewarding experience. I have had the opportunity to watch young athletes work hard, improve their skills, overcome challenges, and push themselves to become the best versions of themselves. Football teaches much more than what happens coach, I hope to help players take pride in themselves, recognize what they are capable of, and understand the value of working toward a shared goal. Most importantly, I want them to leave the program with lessons, friendships, and memories that will stay with them long after their playing days are over.”
