Jul 2012 - Present
As Thomas University’s first Director of Strength and Conditioning, I assisted with facility design, equipment selection, and equipment layout for the inaugural fitness center. I was given the opportunity to start a strength and conditioning department from the ground floor and create a positive environment for our athletes to train and become better athletes. I used my knowledge and experience from my previous S&C positions to create a new “culture” at Thomas University driven by hard work and a blue collar mentality. Currently, I oversee all 15 athletic teams at Thomas and work directly with 6 teams (men's soccer, men's basketball, baseball, softball, men's golf, and women's golf). Another important aspect of my role as director is the hiring and educating of graduate assistants. While working in the collegiate strength and conditioning setting for past 12 years, I have gained skills in effectively motivating each athlete individually in a variety of ways, which I believe is one of the most important factors in a successful strength and conditioning program. As a coach, I believe that my job is not only to improve an athlete’s strength and speed but also to help the athlete grow as a person. Since arriving at TU, the strength and conditioning department has played a major role in the growth, development, and overall success of our teams.
