Coaching is the universal language of change and learning.

Here are some pictures of me coaching football at both Hampton High School and Deer Lakes High School. |
In addition to teaching, I love camping, playing sports, and football. Throughout my time in grade school, high school, college, and post-baccalaureate life, I have coached multiple football teams. Coaching football is important to me because it is a remarkable way to make a huge impact on a player's academic, social, and emotional development. Not only is it fun for both the players and me, but it also provides the perfect platform for my players to learn about life, such as overcoming adversity, learning and exercising physical and mental discipline, and building meaningful relationships with peers and coaches alike. Watching my players succeed on the field and in the classroom is one of the most rewarding experiences that I relish in as a teacher and a coach, and I hope my players benefit as much as I do from the experience. |
