“I am excited to be a part of the DC Metro team! As a new assistant coach, I look forward to supporting our athletes in achieving their goals and encourage their leadership development both on and off the court. While I may be new to the coaching scene, the positive energy and dedication to the sport is what I am committed to bring everyday and why i’m so honored to grow with the DC metro volleyball family.”

A three sport varsity athlete in baseball, wrestling and football at Kittatinny Regional High School in New Jersey, he gained volleyball exposure playing collegiately at the United States Military Academy at West Point. He earned libero honors from the New England Club Volleyball League and national honors in the D1AA club finals. He went on to play as a defensive specialist for the All-Army program in 2016 and 2017 where they competed in the AA division at USAV nationals.
