Fueling potential on the court is my specialty. With 3 years of basketball and volleyball coaching experience, I empower players to elevate their game and achieve their personal best. I cultivate skills with dedication, professionalism, and an approachable style.

I have been playing basketball for 30 years. I don't have the traditional journey of a basketball player. I wasn't given the chance. However, that never stopped me from sharpening my skills over the years by playing with and against better competition. Everything I learned was self-taught through repetition and observation. If you want to be a well-rounded basketball player, look no further than right here!

"Polite, communicative and seems to know what he's doing!

I’ve worked as a pin hitter majority of my career in high school and was a volunteer coach for our women’s team and a couple local clubs within the the 209 area. I’m usually pretty lax and joking but show my passion for volleyball through encouraging people to improve their reps and never settle. I’ve done well enough that I’ve managed to finish high school and even continue it into college. I’ve become well rounded in every position aside from libero.

"Great lesson

Experienced Golf Coach and player, I work in the golf industry and I like to collect knowledge from other coaches, players, and professionals to pass on to my clients. Everyone is different, so I focus on the simple mechanics. All of my students have improved a lot! Thank you everyone for your support! My average client take around 5-10 lessons and after that they usually don’t need many more unless they are a beginner. I can help take 20-30 shots off your score! I work on the simple mechanics and simple changes anyone can make to the golf swing

"The lesson with Christopher was quite helpful, especially since he provided some pointers that I plan to work on, like improving my irons and wood shots. Though I still need more practice in those areas, I feel like I have a clearer idea of what to focus on. I guess I’ll just keep at it, though. Still, I think a little more practice will help me see real progress. If you’re looking to tighten up certain aspects of your game, Christopher’s guidance might be worth trying.

I’ve been coaching many sports for several years. Mainly Flag Football and Tackle Football for 4+ years at many different levels. Not only have I coached it but i’ve played and been surrounded by it in any way imaginable from media, coaching, reffing, playing etc etc.
