For the past five years, I have had the privilege of coaching multiple age groups within BAC for my three children, Aubrey, Chandler and Ward. My wife is also deeply involved in Lacrosse and a current coach for BAC. A lifelong DMV native, I have a strong belief in youth sports watching my parents serve in various positions and lead the Bowie Boys and Girls Club. I witnessed firsthand the profound impact that well-organized athletic programs can have on a community. Their leadership instilled in me the importance of providing young athletes with opportunities to develop not only their skills but also their confidence, discipline, and character.

From introducing fundamental skills to younger athletes to refining techniques for more advanced players, my focus as a Coach has always been on fostering teamwork, sportsmanship, and individual growth. I've seen first hand the impact our league, commissioners, coaches, and volunteers have on our community and children to create a space where our players develop lifelong skills, learn the sport, and enjoy a team environment.

I believe in the transformative power of youth sports and committed to ensuring BAC continues to be a place where young athletes can thrive, coaches are supported, and families feel connected. I look forward to the opportunity to give back to the BAC community in this new capacity.

Thank you for your consideration.
