What sets him apart is not just the success on the court, but the way he pours into his players, helping them grow as athletes and as people. I've been fortunate to experience his influence both as a player and now as a coach, and he has taught me what it means to compete, to lead, and to believe in something bigger than myself. At Providence, he has built an environment where players trust in themselves, in each other, and in the program. It's an honor to coach alongside him and to witness the lasting impact he continues to make on our team, our university, and the volleyball community as a whole."
