I was born and raised in Deland, Florida, and graduated from DeLand High School. I started my coaching career early at the age of 19 with the Department of Parks and Recreation, and that is where I started my love of giving back to the youth. I then coached and was the Assistant Director for 10 years at the Police Athletic League in Deland FL. I started at SRHS in April 2014 as Wide Receivers Coach 

and then moved to 

the defense side of the ball in 2015.
