Highlights:

🏈 Thought track only existed at the Olympics…until he found it himself

💥 A “petty bet” sparked his passion for coaching

🏃‍♂️ Hustled with two coaching jobs at once (Moorpark & Cal Lutheran)

📚 Returned to finish his degree mid-career while coaching

🌎 Took a leap from SoCal to Southern Arkansas before landing in Buffalo

💬 Shares the hard truths about recruiting in the MAC and building culture


“You’ll probably mess up more athletes than you help early on — but you don’t know that until later. Growth takes trial and error.” — Jhad Jones
