I have been playing volleyball since I was 9 years old and this is my second year coaching for NPJ.  I play collegiate volleyball for Western Oregon University. 

I was born and raised in Springfield Ohio and lived there for 12 years before moving to Oregon in 2015. I am the 4th child in a family of 6. I grew up always playing sports that were in season such as hockey, soccer, football, basketball, and baseball. I attended and graduated in 2022 from Cascade High School in Turner where I continued to play football in the fall and picked up golf my junior and senior years in the spring while soccer wasn't happening as well. To stay busy in the winter I continued to play hockey for my church's team and spent my Saturday nights practicing down in Eugene. I decided to forgo college and focus on getting my PGM (Professional Golf Management) degree to become a future golf-pro for the state of Oregon. As far as my volleyball background, I started coming to NPJ’s adult open gyms during the Spring of 2022 to become more familiar with the game and I instantly found an extreme interest in the game. My local youth group ended up making a mens team and we started practicing weekly to get ready to play at a youth camp in Norway. After this tournament I continued to show up and play at NPJ for open gyms and the interest for the game only grew. I have been so fortunate to meet and learn from great people such as Mike and AJ and get to the point where I am now. I am so excited to start my first year coaching here at NPJ and continue to meet new people, grow as a coach, and build new relationships within the NPJ family!
