Who are we at 5 north

 I began my club career with the Halton Hurricanes, where I competed in multiple Division 1, Tier 1 gold medal matches and contributed to our team’s 2nd place ranking in Canada. Over the course of 10 years, I trained at one of Ontario’s most prestigious volleyball clubs, recognized for its top-tier accomplishments.

I went on to play varsity volleyball at the University of Windsor for three years as a left-side hitter, further developing my skills and understanding of the game at the collegiate level.

As a coach, I have spent the past three years helping athletes achieve their full potential. Notably, I coached the Barrie Elites, guiding the team from a 50th to a 7th place ranking in Ontario. Additionally, I’ve served as an assistant coach at York University, working alongside Jen Neilson, one of Canada's leading female volleyball coaches.

My experiences as a player and coach have shaped my ability to mentor and develop athletes, with a focus on building strong, competitive teams at every level.

With seven years of coaching experience across various age groups, I employ skill specific principles and philosophies, emphasizing clear and straightforward guidance to develop athletes. I believe in hard work, intelligently focused, maximum repetitions, and thoughtful feedback as the foundation for success.

I have coached in two D1 T1 national finals and at the 14U age level. As a father of three daughters who played high-level club volleyball, I bring a personal passion to my coaching. My primary goal is to help each athlete reach their full potential, both on and off the court.
