About Myself:

​

Growing up and raising a family here in Humboldt County has given me a broad perspective and invested interest in our community and youth.  Being a teacher working with at risk kids, and coaching both boys and girls high school basketball for 15 years has helped me to become an expert teacher of the game of basketball. I coached and developed my daughter from an early age all the way to helping her earn a scholarship to play basketball at Chico State University.  This has helped me understand the unique challenges that parents of young athletes face. In addition, I helped develop and launch the Humboldt Wild AAU basketball program, and ran my own varsity high school program. With a great team of kids and coaches we progressed into a state championship contender. I am excited to bring my expertise to help develop and improve the athletes of Humboldt County.
