About Me
Welcome! I’m not a big organization — just a local coach, athlete, and mentor, born and raised right here in Westchester County. Over the years, I’ve built programs driven by my passion to help young athletes discover real confidence, skill, and love for the game.
I’m currently the Head Varsity Lacrosse Coach at The Ursuline School in New Rochelle, NY, where over the past eight years I’ve become the all-time winningest coach in program history. During my tenure, our team has reached the Sectional Semifinals four out of the last five seasons—including three straight appearances in 2023, 2024, and 2025—and posted a 36–15 record over the past three years. We’ve also produced multiple All-Section players who’ve gone on to play college lacrosse, as well as the school’s first-ever All-American and Academic All-American.
Beyond Ursuline, I serve as the Director of Player Development and coach for R2 Lacrosse. Previously, I was the Director of Girls Lacrosse at House of Sports, where I turned around a struggling program that had been losing players and suffering from a negative reputation. By building a respected Girls Lacrosse Training Academy, I led the program to sustained, year-over-year growth and renewed community trust. At the regional level, I coach the CONNY Region Burn Team for the New Balance All-America Games and formerly chaired the Hudson Valley National Team.
With over 30 years of coaching experience at the rec, club, travel, and high school levels—and US Lacrosse & NFHS certifications—I’ve always believed success comes from relationships first. My focus is on creating an environment where athletes feel supported and challenged to become their best both on and off the field.
As a two-sport standout athlete at Yorktown High School, I helped lead the lacrosse team to two State Championship appearances—including Yorktown’s first-ever NYSPHSAA title—before going on to play Division I lacrosse at nationally ranked Towson University.
I’m also a proud sports parent. Having guided my own children through the demands of youth and collegiate athletics, I understand firsthand what parents look for in a trainer or training program—trust, clear communication, meaningful development, and a commitment to their child’s overall well-being. This perspective shapes how I approach every athlete and family I work with.
Most meaningful of all, I’m a proud father. My children have earned numerous honors—from All-Section awards to Big Ten Player of the Week and Inside Lacrosse Division I National Player of the Week—and today, two of them coach at the varsity and collegiate levels, carrying forward our family tradition of giving back to the game.
After decades on the sidelines, my philosophy hasn’t changed: it’s not just about winning, but about building character, confidence, and lifelong friendships that last long after the final whistle.
For Parents
A Coach Who Understands Parents, Too
As both a coach and a sports parent, I know what matters most: trust, open communication, and a commitment to your child’s overall growth—not just their stats. Here’s what you can expect when your family joins mine.
Over the years, I’ve been on both sides of the sidelines—not only as a coach, but as a dad watching my own children navigate youth, high school, and college athletics. That perspective has shaped how I approach every athlete and every family I work with.
I understand what parents want in a coach or trainer: someone who will help your child develop skills and love for the game, but also keep an eye on the bigger picture—confidence, resilience, sportsmanship, and well-being. I believe in clear communication with parents, honesty about your child’s progress, and building trust so we’re working together as partners.
Ultimately, my commitment goes beyond the scoreboard: it’s about helping each young athlete discover what makes them special, learn life lessons through sport, and build friendships and memories they’ll carry for years to come.
Coaching Philosophy
More Than a Game: How I Coach
Coaching isn’t just about drills or winning records—it’s about helping young athletes discover who they are, trust themselves, and grow into resilient, confident people on and off the field.
To me, coaching is about far more than the X’s and O’s. It’s about building real relationships rooted in trust, respect, and accountability.
I believe young athletes grow the most when they’re supported and challenged—pushed to stretch beyond what they think they can do, while always knowing someone believes in them. My goal is to create an environment where athletes don’t just improve their stick skills or game IQ, but also build confidence, mental toughness, and leadership skills that stay with them long after the final whistle.
At every level—from rec leagues to varsity playoffs—I coach each athlete as an individual. I help them discover their unique strengths, embrace mistakes as part of the process, and understand that stepping outside their comfort zone is where true growth happens.
In the end, I believe the best teams are built by putting people first—because when athletes feel seen, valued, and connected, the results take care of themselves.
