A Coach Who Builds Champions in Sport and in Life

I’ve spent the last 25 years helping athletes and adults unlock their full potential—mentally, physically, and as leaders. As the founder of Finish First Sports Performance, I’ve coached athletes from youth programs to professional teams, from Olympic medalists and Stanley Cup champions to young players just learning to compete. But more importantly, I’ve developed men and women who have gone on to serve as doctors, lawyers, professors, military leaders, and community changemakers.

From Athlete to Coach

Growing up in central Pennsylvania, I was a multi-sport athlete in wrestling, football, and track & field. I know what it feels like to train, compete, succeed—and sometimes fall short. That journey shaped my belief that success comes not just from talent, but from discipline, resilience, and the right coaching.

Coaching Legacy

Since 2000, I've had the privilege of:

  • Serving as Associate Strength & Conditioning Coach at The Ohio State University, leading championship hockey and golf programs.

  • Working with USA Hockey, including the U.S. Women’s National Under-18 Team that captured a World Championship gold medal.

  • Coaching NCAA teams at Robert Morris University, with multiple conference titles and NCAA tournament appearances.

  • Training athletes in the USHL, NAHL, NHL, PLL, NLL, and KHL.

In 2007, I officially launched Finish First Sports Performance to bring all of this experience into one system: the Peak Performance Pathway, which combines world-class strength and speed training with the Built Different Mindset system for mental performance.

My Coaching Philosophy

I believe that training is more than building strength and speed. It’s about developing the mindset, confidence, and leadership skills that carry athletes through competition—and through life. I lead with a mix of transformational and servant leadership, always adapting to bring out the best in each athlete.

Why I Coach

Nothing inspires me more than watching an athlete discover what they’re truly capable of. Whether it’s a middle schooler finding their confidence, a college athlete breaking through to the next level, or an adult client reclaiming their health and vitality—the greatest reward is seeing lives transformed.
