Bio: Hello everyone! Welcome to SLOW (Skillfully Learning Offensive Weaponry) Development. With over 30 years of basketball experience and knowledge, my goal with each athlete is to maximize their potential by focusing on fundamentals to create efficient, effective, basketball players. Progression is the movement and 1% better everyday is the mantra. Let's hit the court and get to it!

Bio: With over 20 years of experience as both a player and coach, I specialize in developing young athletes through focused training in ball handling, conditioning, and overall basketball IQ. I work with players ranging from ages 6 through high school, helping them build a strong foundation, sharpen their skills, and grow their confidence on and off the court. I played college basketball at Durham College and have further developed my training expertise through hands-on experience with Delson Training in New Jersey—one of the top programs for elite player development. My approach is simple: I love the game and I love helping kids get better. I’m easygoing, positive, and passionate—but I also push players to work hard, stay disciplined, and maximize their potential. Whether your child is just starting out or aiming for the next level, my goal is to guide them through that journey—step by step—with energy, focus, and fun.
