I have been coaching, teaching, and training athletes since my undergraduate years in college. Since becoming a player development coach and starting EYG Basketball I have been able to work with some of the most impactful people or companies in player development such as The Point Guard College (PGC Basketball), Mike Lee, and Ganon Baker. Also during my coaching days, I had the privilege of working basketball camps from Oklahoma State, Iowa State, Purdue, and Colorado.
