I was born and raised in a small town outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Growing up around a great family of athletes, coaches, teachers, and mentors helped instill a hardworking, competitive mentality with a passion for sports. That drive and passion has allowed me to excel in my athletic experiences on the field and now in the coaching and business world.

​

In 2007, I received a full scholarship to play Division 1 Football as a Wide Receiver for the University of Toledo. While at Toledo, I received my Bachelors Degree in Exercise Science. My time spent there as a student-athlete was invaluable. I learned from some of the best coaches and professors in the country. After graduation in 2011, I decided that I would love to become a coach. I spent time in coaching at Duquesne University, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and The Ohio State University. Those experiences have led me to where I am today.

My top priority in life is to maximize my time spent with family while making a living doing what I love. As much as I enjoy my career, I enjoy my family more.

"WORK TO LIVE, NOT LIVE TO WORK"

Nothing I do in this life would be possible without my family. 

I am a proud husband to my wife Mila and dad to our two boys Giancarlo and Marciano.
