People say I’m a gifted listener whose calm presence provides safe space for others to process life. Helping others by listening and asking questions comes naturally and brings my life such meaning!
I fell in love with basketball at a young age and sports quickly became a strong influence in my life. Though my days as an athlete have passed, my passion to help coaches and athletes become their very best has not.
Five key values guide my life: trusting God, assisting others, living graciously, pursuing excellence and influencing positively. My commitment to live out these values ensures that you receive my best coaching.
My favorite hang out spots are usually coffee shops, only to be trumped by the beach. Of course, in Ohio it’s a lot easier to find coffee shops than beaches! Warm memories of visiting Cottesloe Beach (Perth, Australia) and the Red Beach (Santorini, Greece) help me make it through the winter.
I love unrushed time with family and friends, soaking in sunshine, watching sports, working out, Graeter’s ice cream and worshiping God—definitely not in that order!
