I am entering my third season as the Running Backs Coach for the Michigan Panthers in the UFL, working under Head Coach, Mike Nolan. I bring a strong work ethic and attention to detail, developed during five years of active duty as a US Marine Corps Captain before transitioning to coaching. My coaching experience includes roles with the OL, TE’s, and RB’s.

From 2021-2023, I served as an Analyst and OL Graduate Assistant at the University of Louisiana Monroe before joining the Michigan Panthers.

Over the past two fall seasons, I coached the OL, TE’s, and RB’s at Orange Lutheran High School in the highly regarded Trinity League in Southern California, where we finished ranked #13 in the nation by MaxPreps in 2024.

In 2020-2021, I was the Assistant Offensive Line Coach and Offensive Quality Control at Elon University before moving to ULM.

Prior to that, I volunteered at the University of San Diego, assisting the OL coach whenever my Marine Corps schedule allowed, as I was still on active duty and stationed at Camp Pendleton.

Before joining the Marine Corps, I played fullback in the Arena Football League for the Spokane Shock and in the Professional Indoor Football League for the Richmond Raiders. I also spent a season in the German Football League. I began my high school coaching career in 2013 as the OL Coach and Run Game Coordinator for Canyon High School in Anaheim, CA during my arena football offseason.

I played Division 3 college football at Chapman University, starting all four years on the OL and never missing a game. I was honored to be selected to the 2010 D3football.com All-Region Team as an OL.
