Extremely excited to get the chance to be the new Director of Sport Science for Michigan football. Getting the chance to work at such an amazing storied organization, and continue to work in my hybrid role as a coach as well. Thankful for everyone who’s been apart of it!

Before that, he was the associate head strength and conditioning coach at FAU, an assistant at Ole Miss, ULM and Nevada, an intern at Ohio State under Urban Meyer, and an intern at Marshall, where he attended school. He received a bachelor of science in exercise physiology from Marshall in 2017 with a minor in psychology and played linebacker for the Thundering Herd.
