Meet Our Staff

Coach, Podcast Host, and Family Man. Originally from Flint, Michigan, I made the move to Texas in 2009, bringing with me a passion for football and a commitment to excellence. Since 2016, I have been training defensive linemen, dedicated to helping athletes reach their full potential on and off the field.

In addition to coaching, I am the host of *The Grind House Podcast*, where we dive into all things football, hard work, and what it truly takes to level up. A proud graduate of Central Michigan University, I cherish my role as a dad to Anthony, Nina, Alexander, and Avery. When I’m not coaching or on the mic, I love traveling with my amazing wife Nikki, exploring new places, and creating lasting memories with my family.

As a dedicated mother of three exceptional athletes, I bring enthusiasm, organizational expertise, and a collaborative spirit to everything I do. My passion for fostering a positive environment shines through my work with Grind House Sports, where I help streamline operations and ensure efficiency as a valued team player.

Beyond sports, I channel creativity and responsibility as the proud owner of Cool, Calm, and Crested. In my role as a cardiac DME sales representative, I lead with intention and positivity, forging meaningful connections while delivering exceptional results.

Balancing family, business, and community involvement is at the heart of my journey. I am committed to showing up fully — focused, passionate, and ready to make a lasting impact in all that I do.
