I am a native of Montana and played volleyball and basketball for Portland State University. As a volleyball player for Portland State, I was a 2-time All American and a member of the 1988 National Championship team. I went on to be a graduate assistant coach for the 1992 National Championship Team at PSU.
I've worked as a physical therapist for 11 years and have been coaching for approximately 20 years. My coaching background includes experience at the collegiate, high school, and club levels.
Professional
I am currently a licensed physical therapist, managing onsite therapy services in the Puget Sound region for VibrantCare Rehabilitation.
Personal
I am single and living in Mukilteo. When I'm not coaching volleyball I can be found hiking with friends, gardening or visiting family and friends in Montana.
