Volleyball has been a lifelong passion in my family, with my father representing the U.S. on the National Team, and my brother and uncle also competing in collegiate volleyball. I was lucky enough to grow up with a volleyball in my hand, learning from some of the best in the game. I followed in my family’s footsteps, becoming a high school All-State player and competing for Red Rose Volleyball Club, where we finished in the Top 20 nationally every year. I went on to play collegiately at East Stroudsburg University when the program competed at the varsity level in the EIVA.

Over the past 20 years, I have coached more than 25 club and high school teams, as well as 13 years of collegiate men’s and women’s volleyball at the NCAA Division I, II, and III levels. My collegiate coaching stops include Eastern Illinois University (W), Millersville University(W), Messiah College (M), George Mason University (M), and Arcadia University (M & W). At Arcadia, I founded the men’s volleyball program and led the team to its first NCAA Tournament appearance, finishing in the Top 10 nationally.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of doing some work with USA Volleyball and as well as winning a silver medal at the USA Volleyball High Performance Championships with the Keystone Region Team. I’ve also coached numerous All-Conference athletes and multiple All-Americans.

I remain an active competitor today, playing in grass and sand semi-professional events. My passion for the game—whether as a player, coach, or mentor—continues to fuel my commitment to developing athletes and growing the sport at all levels.
