I am grateful to have made important friendships and learned important lessons through hockey as a player and as a coach.  I was fortunate to play for devoted and talented coaches who gave me chances, and my goal is to help players develop themselves through hockey. 

 

I began skating relatively late, my Freshman Year in high school.  I played for Conestoga High School and for the Valley Forge Colonials and am proud to have been a member of the 1985 Conestoga State Championship Team as a player and the 1997 Conestoga Flyers Cup Championship Team as a coach.  I played two years of junior varsity hockey at Brown University, and during my college years I also played for two silver medal Keystone State Game Teams.  I played men’s league hockey for many years after college.

 

I coached Conestoga’s Boys Varsity Team from 1991-2000 (with Stag, Scotty and Bob, and we won a Flyers Cup Championship in 1998), and I have also coached many youth sports over the past 10-plus years.  I am excited to coach both Conestoga Girls Ice Hockey and Mighty Moose Club Hockey, now that my daughter, Sophia, is a hockey player.

 

I hold a Level 4 Coaching Certification from USA Hockey.
