I attended Senn High School, where I was the Vice President of the Student Council and played Defensive End on the Football Team.  I went on to play basketball for Danville College for a year before transferring to Truman College due to family issues.  I majored in English and Creative Writing.  It was with each of these experiences that led me to live life with an understanding the concept of, when you know better, you must do better!  In an effort to pay it forward, I took on a role as a Volunteer Youth Mentor in a local community outreach program.  The passion to help others improve their way of thinking and better their situation, led me to branch out into other neighborhood outreach programs and youth sports leagues. To advance my career, I became certified as a Personal Trainer and obtained my Team Sports Coaching Certificate. I simultaneously became the Director of Operations for the Team Flight Basketball AAU Travel Team and Boys Basketball High School Coach for Mather High School.  In these roles I had the opportunity to coach multiple teams from 6th to 12th grade as well as organize and operate multiple basketball camps and clinics.  My work in these roles and coaching expertise gained recognition from Roycemore Private School's Athletics Department which led to a Head Coach for the Boys Basketball Program. While I continue to enjoy my position with Roycemore, I felt the need to further my work in the community as a Leader and Mentor to not only the youth, but adults as well.  I founded Motion Elite to allow myself, and a team of coaches, the opportunity to groom individuals in a similar fashion of the program I was once privileged to participate in as a young man.  Motion Elite prides itself with the ability to educate each member of our family on work ethic, critical thinking, respect,and self worth. We also show our students/athletes how to live a healthier lifestyle through proper food intake, individualized work out plans and a strong state of mind.
