– What is your coaching background?
I started coaching at Nazareth School District under the legend Whitey Williams. At Nazareth, I coached two years at the Middle school. During the second year as the Head Coach, we turned around a 0-9 team to an 8-2. From there I was promoted to the varsity level and coached LB for Mark Madson, who is now the superintendent of the Parkland school district. In 2012, I became the Head Coach of Dieruff High School, my alma mater. We turned around a team that was on a 30-game losing streak to a 500 team within two years. In 2013, I was awarded the Morning Call Coach of the Year. I then had stints at Bethlehem Catholic as the secondary coach. Then the last two years, I was the defensive coordinator at Whitehall High School where we won the district finals and made it to the semi-final of state playoffs.
