Work History

Varsity Head Coach

Bayview High School
Tantallon, NS
09.2022 - Current
  • Returned to Sir John A (now Bayview) High School to lead the varsity ladies basketball program
  • Although a young squad, through an intense practice regimen attempting to bring the ladies up to speed to compete successfully at the Division 1 level in the Metro High School ladies league.

Girls Head Coach

SMB Fury
Tantallon, NS
04.2017 - Current
  • Lead the u16/17 ladies high performance summer travel program for SMB Fury. A newer established program with the goal to allow young ladies to continue to learn, and play, higher level basketball during the summer months.
  • We actively travel for games/tournaments. With play throughout the Maritime provinces and to Quebec.
  • Established clear benchmarks for performance and monitored individual and team progress.

Head Coach

St Margaret's Bay Basketball (SLAM)
Tantallon, NS
09.2008 - Current
  • Like many parents my coaching journey started with my daughter in 2008 at the u10 level. Where the priority was to foster a curiosity for the game through skill development and game like simulations
  • Through the years I have had opportunity to coach both male and female athletes. Ranging from u14 to u18 (male).
  • I exclusively began coaching females in 2016 as their mentality fit my coaching philosophy. Ladies, by and large, recognize their limitations and seem (based on my experience) to be more open to coaching.
  • Please with the success obtained through the years. We manged to win 3 Provincial titles in three age groups.

  • First opportunity to coach at the High School level
  • Prepared players to run specific game simulations in order to build cohesive, structured team.
  • My guiding principle as I started this journey was to "Teach them how to play, not to teach them plays"
  • Pleased with our year end results, we were 1 victory away from qualifying for Provincial play-in. Which would have been a first for the varsity ladies in some time (prior to)
