Private Lessons & Coaches in Watchung, NJ

Driven by a lifelong passion for basketball, I've spent the last 22 years playing basketball and was fortunate enough to receive a scholarship. Now in this next chapter in my life I am looking to give back to the youth. My coaching philosophy centers on fostering a fun, engaging environment where players can develop their skills and reach their full potential. Let's hit the court and elevate your game!

With over 20 years of experience as both a player and coach, I specialize in developing young athletes through focused training in ball handling, conditioning, and overall basketball IQ. I work with players ranging from ages 6 through high school, helping them build a strong foundation, sharpen their skills, and grow their confidence on and off the court. I played college basketball at Durham College and have further developed my training expertise through hands-on experience with Delson Training in New Jersey—one of the top programs for elite player development. My approach is simple: I love the game and I love helping kids get better. I’m easygoing, positive, and passionate—but I also push players to work hard, stay disciplined, and maximize their potential. Whether your child is just starting out or aiming for the next level, my goal is to guide them through that journey—step by step—with energy, focus, and fun.
