Born in the U.S. but raised in the Philippines, my love for basketball has shaped my journey both on and off the court. Growing up, I dedicated myself to the game, dreaming of playing professionally. While I didn’t achieve that goal, my passion for sports never faded. Instead, it led me to the sports performance industry, where I now help young athletes chase their dreams and reach their full potential.

With years of experience coaching athletes across multiple sports—including basketball, soccer, football, volleyball, baseball, and more—I’ve had the privilege of working with athletes at various levels. I have also helped college football players prepare for their Pro Day combine, refining their speed, agility, and strength to perform at the highest level.

I am a Universal Speed Rating Level 1 Certified Coach and a Parisi Speed School Certified Coach, specializing in speed, agility, and overall athletic performance. My mission is to empower young athletes to excel, whether their goal is to earn a college scholarship, go pro, or simply become the best version of themselves.

Helping the next generation of athletes achieve what I once dreamed of is my greatest reward. If your child is ready to take their game to the next level, I’m here to guide them every step of the way.

Let’s work together to make their dreams a reality!

My love for sports started as a young athlete participating in various rec league teams. As a skilled youth sports trainer and former recipient of a Division II football scholarship to Alderson Broaddus University, I’ve dedicated myself to helping young athletes improve their strength, agility, and overall athletic potential.

Previously, I served as an assistant football coach at Calvert Hall High School, where I worked on developing competitive athletes and fostering a deep understanding of teamwork and discipline. I’m passionate about guiding youth to reach their highest potential, both on and off the field, and helping them build the confidence and skills they need for lifelong success. Since becoming a certified Parisi Performance Coach in 2017, I’ve continued to focus on these goals with every athlete I train.
