Reason for Coaching

I have been coaching basketball for over 20 years now. My goal is to instill a sense of purpose and passion for the game into the players that I mentor.

Testimony

I was inspired by Chris Brown of Purpose Church while on a camping trip to Bass Lake with my youth group. I knew at that moment that Jesus was the truth and light. He helped me understand my purpose and I will never forget his words.
