Personal Statement:
After spending some time developing my basketball knowledge abroad, I am beyond excited to return to the college coaching scene here at Neosho and couldn’t be happier than to be working with Coach Shaffer in this great community. High level coaching, training, and development has been my sole focus over the past 5 years and I'm excited to share all that I’ve learned with the young men of Neosho County.
