I graduated from Tampa Prep in 1995 and attended the University of Tampa where I earned a Bachelors of Science degree in International Business. While there, I also played volleyball for the Spartans. I taught for eight years at Plant High School in the Business Education department. While at Plant I was the head volleyball coach and won five state championships. I went on and coached Division 2 college volleyball for five years in New York City at Queens College – CUNY. While at QC I worked directly with high risk student athletes and ensured their post graduation success.

In 2017 I returned to my alma mater, Tampa Prep, as the head varsity volleyball coach and director of volleyball operations. I have three children. My son is a chemical engineering major at the University of South Florida and one of my daughters is pursuing nursing at Florida International University. My youngest daughter is a student at Tampa Prep. I enjoy biking the riverwalk and spending time with my family.
