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.
Very pleased, in our very short existence, that we've had one lady graduate to the ranks of an AUS varsity athlete.
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.
Varsity Head Coach
Sir John A MacDonald High School
Tantallon, NS, Nova Scotia
09.2020 - 03.2021

Very pleased, with a roster that was effectively (due to injury) 8, we achieved a .500 season. The first for the school in a number of years.
Head JV Basketball Coach
Charles P Allen High School
Bedford, NS
09.2019 - 03.2020
Readied athletes for tough games by implementing coordinated regimens of practices and physical conditioning.
Very pleased with the results the girls achieved, finishing 3rd in the NSSAF JV Ladies basketball provincials in our first year together.
Varsity Head Coach
Sir John A MacDonald High School
Tantallon, NS
09.2013 - 03.2014
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)
