Playing/Coaching Experience:  

Coaching: Coached for 5 years for The National Basketball Academy (TNBA) AAU program in Cleveland, OH. (Cleveland Cavaliers affiliate). Sent 13 players to go on and play in college. One of those players being EJ Onu, currently playing professionally in Germany. I spent 2 years on staff at Northern Kentucky University (DI). During our two years, we won the 2020 Horizon League Championship, qualifying for the NCAA Tournament before COVID cancelled it. 5 players from that team are currently playing professionally.

After 2 seasons at NKU, I left to help start The Skill Factory Prep High School team (TSF Prep). In 2 seasons, we ranked as high as #16 (2021-22) & #8 (2022-23) in the country (maxpreps & ESPN). Beat #7 in the country La Lumiere on the road, beat #21 Huntington Prep, #25 The Rock School & Big Shots National Champion, Moravian Prep. From these groups, we coached and developed numerous Division I prospects: Kaden Cooper (#34 in the class of 2023; current Oklahoma Sooner), Kam Craft (#54 in the class of 2022; current Xavier Musketeer), Lathan Sommerville (#89 in the class of 2024; Rutgers signee), Jeremiah Wilkinson (#229 player in 2024; California signee), Desmond White (Austin Peay), Donovan Rivers (Jacksonville), Jacob Meyer (Coastal Carolina), Rodrigo Farias (Iona). 6 other players earned or accepted scholarships from those 2 teams. During those years, I coached 2 years of AAU where in the class of 2023, nine players accepted scholarships for basketball across the Division I & II levels.
