MISSION STATEMENT
Helping families develop young leaders through the sport of ice hockey by always striving to become a better human being and making those around you better.
COACHING PHILOSOPHY
I believe hockey is a vehicle that helps build character in young athletes. With each player, I strive to both help them build the skills required to achieve playing at higher levels of hockey and work with them to understand their personal aspirations in life.
In a nutshell, this great game can be viewed as a microcosm of life that teaches our young people about passion, hard work, communication, reliability, respect, and team success versus individual success. Hockey teaches us that being a part of a community helps us to achieve more than we could do on our own. It is my hope that each of my teams regards each other not only as teammates but as family.

BACKSTORY
I’m excited to share my love of hockey with you!
I started playing hockey in Southern California out of Lakewood Ice and Westminster Ice. I also played competitively with various club teams competing and winning all around the US. I was also fortunate enough to be under the leadership of some of the best coaches in Southern California.
Hockey remained a huge part of my life throughout my college years. While working toward a B.S. in Human Biology as a pre-med student at UC San Diego, I was able to play with the UCSD team in the American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA), winning against teams like UCLA, UC Davis, Cal State Northridge, San Diego State, Northern Arizona University, Chapman, College of the Canyons and Santa Rosa Junior College.
The start of my coaching career began in Northern California under Chris Linden for the Oakland Bears Bantam A. I later moved back to Southern California where I began coaching high school hockey under Sandy Gasseau. Since then, I have also coached with the Jr. Ducks at various age levels under Sandy Gasseau, Andrei Runtso, and Ren Texeira.
In addition to assistant coaching, I’ve also led teams to championships as a head coach for the Jr. Ducks and Los Alamitos High School Griffins. It has been a rewarding experience thus far and I look forward to all the opportunities that lie ahead.
