Personal Bio
I consider Northern California my home as this is where I established my roots and accomplished the majority of my personal growth. I met my wonderful wife in college, and we have been together for over 18 years. Together, we have raised an amazing daughter who brings endless joy to our lives. I’ve been blessed with a loving family, which has allowed me to be a better person and a better coach. In my free time, I enjoy listening to music, practicing photography, playing with my dogs and just spending time with my family.
