Brief Summary: I have spent more than 25 years focusing on the comprehensive development of the student-athlete and to preparing them for the challenges of life beyond the playing field. I have discovered that during the elementary, middle school and high school years, every student-athlete is confronted with a variety of developmental challenges. I joined RedLine Athletics to address these challenges. I am passionate about assisting the student-athletes in the Arlington/Mansfield community develop the skills necessary to lead successful, productive lives, and become leaders of, and contributors to life.

Brief Summary- I got into the teaching, mentoring, and coaching profession because leading and developing young people (in sports) is my passion. I truly enjoy watching the week to week work that a student/athlete puts into their “craft” and then seeing the benefits of that work on game day. I believe that through sports an individual can build responsibility, character, team work, and a work ethic that can translate over to whatever that individual choses to do with his or her life. And together we can build a solid foundation for the future of that young person’s career in life.
