Summary

Since High School, I have had a passion for coaching and development. When I began coaching hockey camps in 2015, I had no idea what passion would be awakened. Ever since, I have done whatever I can to put myself in positions to help others improve, whether that be Baseball, Hockey, or life. During my last year at Century, I had the opportunity to coach my younger brother's hockey team for his senior year. This would reignite my passion for coaching. Now, coaching has become not only my passion but part of my way of life. After 3 years of playing college baseball at Century College, I worked for a year as a sight coordinator for Knoblesdorff Enterprises. That year helped me sort out the fact that I am meant to be a coach and that I care deeply about helping the next generations of athletes build interpersonal skills and qualities that will help them be successful. Since then, I have been attending school while being a volunteer coach, coaching Junior Gold Hockey, then becoming a full-time assistant this fall while also attending school.
