I’ve been working at West Valley College since 2015. I was born and raised in Northern California, and I am a product of the community college system, having attended Santa Barbara City College before transferring to UC Santa Barbara for my undergraduate education. I was a Division 1 volleyball player for the Gauchos before starting my career as a volleyball coach after college.
Since 2007, I have coached at several different universities such as UC Santa Barbara, Sacramento State, and most recently UC Irvine. I also had the fortune of working for USA Volleyball as an assistant coach for the Senior Men’s National Team back in 2016. My passion for teaching brought me to West Valley.
I love teaching and I love volleyball. I get to pursue both of those passions here with the Vikings. I’m all about enjoying the learning process and helping students be the best version of themselves through sport and exercise. Come and take my classes and see what I’m all about!
