MY STORY
Basketball Philosophy & Leadership
My Coaching Philosophy
My approach is built on one principle: CREATE. I develop players and teams that compete relentlessly, respect the game and each other, give maximum effort, hold themselves accountable, communicate with clarity, and continuously evolve into who they're capable of becoming.
Winning is a byproduct of culture, consistency, and personal growth.
The Journey
From Court to Sideline
Stanford University Program Leader
Stanford University Program Leader
As a Stanford standout, I rank sixth all-time in three-point field goals made, a mark that still stands 17 years later. A two-time All Pac-10 Honorable Mention, I averaged 16.2 points per game and hit 71 three-pointers my senior year, demonstrating consistent excellence and leadership. I earned a Communication degree from Stanford, which continues to inform my work in leadership, media, and mentorship.
