“Born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, I grew up playing football, basketball, and I ran track. By the time I graduated high school, I was ranked amoungst the best in the United States in track and field, by being an Indoor and Outdoor All-American, as well as being a multiple time State Champion. I went on to compete at the collegiate level, and trained for the Olympics for a few years as well.
After my running career, I chose to start my own business “‘Meraki Speed” teaching speed development to athletes all around the country and globally as well. Since I have started coaching, I have helped train Olympians, NFL athletes, WNBA athletes, NCAA champions, High School All-Americans, State Champions and more.”
