This is my third year as head coach and have been fortunate enough to be surrounded by extraordinary assistant coaches. I have assistant coached in the past as well as been involved with the atoms program and coached in the spring league.

I currently sit on the LHA Board as VP of Travel, and manager for the 97 Squirt AA Travel. I also have a daughter that skates for Team Du Coeur at Lakeland. I am very committed to making Lakeland hockey what it has been in the past.

There is something to be said about watching kids that you have coached go on to develop into Travel players or to approach you at the rink and tell you that they really hope to get you back as a coach. Being surrounded by the parents and the different coaches at Lakeland has opened my eyes to what it is to mentor youth hockey. It truly is all about the kids.
