I attended the University of Cincinnati for both my undergraduate and graduate degrees, where I studied sports administration. During my time in college, I had the opportunity to work with local high school athletic departments as well as the University of Cincinnati Athletics Department and Northern Kentucky University Athletics Department. In high school, I played basketball and baseball, where I was a team captain and an academic All-Ohioan. I decided to focus on academics at the next level, but my passion for sports never faded.

The most rewarding part of working at NCSA is that I get to live my passion of helping student-athletes succeed on and off the playing surface. I have the pleasure of talking with new families every day and help them get their student-athlete set up to achieve their goals of playing collegiate athletics. I love the team environment here at NCSA and the connections I build every single day. I am very determined, motivated, and excited to help families get recruited. As an incredibly outgoing person, I pride myself in creating special connections with families to give them the best experience possible.

I currently reside in Columbus, Ohio, with my wife. I am a diehard Cleveland sports fan as I was born and raised in northern Ohio, as well as a diehard Cincinnati Bearcat fan. I like to spend my time outside of NCSA watching sports and doing any outdoor activities such as hunting, fishing, camping, and hiking with my wife and family/friends. My future goals are to travel to every national park in the U.S.
