Volleyball has been a part of my life for over two decades, and since I began coaching in 2011, my mission has remained the same: to blend high-level technical instruction with character development. Having led four Chicago Public High School teams, I’ve seen firsthand how the discipline learned on the court translates into success in life.

At CYDI, I lead with what I call the 'Sandwich Method.' I believe in being tough because I know what you’re capable of, but I always ensure you know exactly what you’re doing right alongside where you can improve. My goal is to push you to your limits while providing the support you need to believe in yourself. We aren't just building volleyball players; we are building confident leaders.
