Born in Lowell, Massachusetts, I am a dual Canadian/American citizen who has coached hockey, baseball, soccer, volleyball and wrestling across the United States. Since 1984, I have been involved with USA Hockey coaching for several youth and adult organizations from Tempe, Arizona to Atlanta, Georgia.
I currently serve as the Head Coach of the Atlanta Center Ice 16U AA team. In addition to my duties as a head coach, I serve as the organization's SafeSport Coordinator and USA Hockey Certification Coordinator responsible for ensuring the entire coaching staff has their appropriate certification levels.
My enduring love for ice hockey spans 55 years. I achieved my USA Hockey Master Coach License in 2021, the highest accolade attainable in USA Hockey coaching, and secured my USAH Silver Level Goalie Certification in March 2024.
Beyond my professional endeavors as a hockey coach, I indulge in streaming NPSL, UPSL, WPSL matches, and Youth hockey/soccer games as a cherished hobby whenever the opportunity arises. I am also a professional Santa, for those who still "Believe" - Ho! Ho! Ho!
