About

I’m a professional basketball player who has has represented the Australian Boomers since 2017, more recently competing internationally with the Taiwan Beer HeroBears. Since beginning my pro career in 2014, I’ve been passionate about coaching — helping young athletes master the fundamentals, build confidence, and develop a genuine love for the game through private coaching as well as attending NBA mini-camps. As a centre, I specialise in coaching power forwards and centres on positioning, footwork, and decision-making around the rim. My goal is to help players grow not just as athletes but as people, using basketball as a tool for learning, leadership, and self-belief. I also offer online mentoring for athletes who want to take their mindset and performance to the next level. Parents and players have described my sessions as engaging, insightful, and confidence-building — with many highlighting how quickly I assess each athlete’s skills, provide tailored drills, and explain concepts in a way that’s easy to understand and apply. I take pride in creating a supportive, enjoyable environment where players feel motivated to keep improving long after the session ends.
