I am a highly experienced ex-basketball player having played for 22 years 4 of which profesionally, including representing England in international competitions. I have been coaching basketball since 2003. I am a Level 2 Basketball Coach and Level 1 Basketball Referee. I have been refereeing since 2013. I’ve won 5 championships combined during my playing and coaching career. I am also a qualified CHEK Exercise Coach (IMS1), CHEK Holistic Lifestyle Coach Level 1, Gym Instructor Level 2 and Personal Trainer Level 3.

​

I have been very fortunate enough to have learned from some great coaches. These include: Robert Wickes, Bill Baker, Franky Marulanda, Nick Nurse (NBA Champion Head Coach of Toronto Raptors in 2019 and NBA Coach of the Year in 2020), Phil Handy (3x NBA Champion Assistant Coach of the Los Angeles Lakers), Paul James (ex-England Coach), Tony Garbelotto (ex-GB Coach), Colin Irish (ex-NBA player) and Mark Corino (the winningest Men's Coach in New Jersey History).

​

I love to help players and teams improve their performance through intelligent use of individual and team drills, exercise, nutrition and lifestyle choices.

​

As a self-motivated, energetic, disciplined and enthusiastic individual, I function well both individually and as part of a team. I am adaptable, focused, resourceful, hard working, determined and have excellent organisational skills. My knowledge, creativity and tranquility gives me confidence when faced with a challenging situation. I am very dedicated in achieving the best possible results.
