Chardon, Ohio USAAbout
Starting at the age of two, I learned my love of sports. Volleyball was where I found my passion. I played volleyball throughout high school and for a local club. I carried my love for the game to college and played in the NJCAA and the NCAA at the DII level. I now coach volleyball with the goal of helping athletes find their love of the game.
