My Story
I have one child, a son, and I love living in San Antonio. Before coming to SACS, I was a college basketball coach for 20 years and previously played professional basketball overseas for 5 years and college basketball. I have taught health and physical education classes at the University and College level for over 15 years. I have mentored numerous young coaches who are now college head coaches, and players of all ages, some of whom went on to play professionally overseas and in the NBA. I am honored and privileged to work with the SACS family and help grow its Christ-centered mission.
