I am representing Bethany College (WV).  This upcoming season will be my second season on the staff. We are extremely excited to create a positive culture change and bring the program to the forefront of the Division III conversation.  My role within the team ranges from Offensive analysis, offensive game planning, scouting, player development, and recruiting.  It is a pleasure to work with young adults, positively affecting them on and off the floor.
