About

I am originally from London, England and have been living in the United States for the past 10 years. I moved to California July 2020 to continue pursuing my basketball coaching career as the head coach of the Windsor High School boys basketball team. I’ve been playing/coaching basketball for the past 20 years and have had experience coaching at both the high school and college level.

Before Quest Forward Academy

Before I joined Quest Forward Academy, I taught as a long-term substitute for 8th grade history. Recently, I worked as a behind-the-wheel driving instructor for students pursuing their driver’s licenses. Prior to moving to California, I lived and worked in Tempe, Arizona where I coached on the JV and Varsity level of boys basketball at Tempe High School.

Why I Chose to Work Here

I was excited to join the Quest Forward Academy team because of the positive things I heard about the community. The relationships between students, staff, and mentors is something I was eager to become a part of. I’m also really looking forward to getting to know the students personally as well as helping them devleop their knowledge inside the classroom. My experience in playing and coaching basketball will undoubtedly aid me in sharing great tools and practices with the students on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
