Coaching Philosophy
I believe deeply in my students having fun first. Once a student athlete falls in love with the sport that is when you get the best work out of them. When they’re passionate then they will be open to learning what I am passionate about teaching which is especially technical skills, shot selection, strategy, and mental and physical training.

It’s not Squash! Golf is my other passion. It was meeting one of my idols Arnold Palmer at the 2013 US Open in an unusual way. Ask me how in person!
