SWAG��Ƶ Me

I am the Director of Strength and Conditioning at UMary. I work with our athletics department and student-athletes every day. My goal is to always be of service to our student-athletes so that they are physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally prepared for the adversities of a competitive season and life beyond their sport. We win by challenging our athletes to pursue a strong sense of discipline, resilience, and a passion that allows them to live for something greater than themselves.

Why I’m At Mary

I am at UMary because their identity of being faithfully Christian, joyfully Catholic, and gratefully Benedictine affords me the ability to live my profession, life, and coach through that mission. It is a blessing to be at a place of higher education that encourages intellectual freedom while being deeply rooted in faith.

Expertise

I have been a strength and conditioning coach for 17 years. My experience includes the University of Cincinnati, Xavier University, the Cincinnati Reds, the Chicago Cubs, MLB China, and the US Army. I am currently finishing my PhD in Exercise and Sport Science from Liberty University.
