Empowering Athletes to Achieve Their Dreams On & Off the Field

As the founder, owner & operator of GP Training, I created this organization with a single objective - to generate opportunities for athletes, assist with their growth on and off the field and ultimately to help them achieve their dreams. I believe the progression and success of an athlete is not singular but multifaceted. With my experience and select aptitudes I am able to bridge a scholastic yet athlete-forward mindset & drive, which allows me to teach our athletes and recruits the skills and knowledge of the game; at the same time assist in their personal growth and character development to cultivate physically, mentally and emotionally as an athlete and an individual. I understand the conviction of an athlete, as I have competed at the highest level throughout my life and currently playing football professionally. I am able to effectively communicate with athletes and additionally interconnect with the families, support groups, fans, coaches, GM’s, front office and everyone between.

I have achieved the highest accolades preeminent in football and wrestling my entire athletic career, with multi All-American and All-Conference football awards under my belt. I have also been awarded multiple Defensive Player of the year, Defensive Rookie of the year, league leader/team in TKL’s, TFL’s & Sacks throughout my collegiate as well as professional career (HS, NCAA, XFL, UFL, LFA, NAL). I have worked behind the scenes with the UFL as the National Field Director and American National Combines assisting with various events. While reaching the highest of praises in football, at parallel I gained triumphs in wrestling. Triple Crown Winner in wrestling, freestyle wrestling USA regionals, Minnesota state qualifier & runner-up, HOL first team all-conference. In contrast to competing, I have also coached throughout my athletic career. I have been a varsity assistant wrestling coach, varsity football defensive line coach, and All-Star recruiter as well as All-Star defensive coordinator and linebacker coach.

I believe academia in a symbiotic balance with athletics establishes an effective equilibrium which allows an athlete to expand and excel upon their physical, intellectual and emotional performance. I have attained my liberal arts, sciences and Sports Management degree. Throughout my schooling I have been honored for my outstanding leadership several times. I was the student senator throughout HS while balancing a heavy football and wrestling schedule. I have also been recognized for my relationship building, effective communication and leadership skills.

My vast athletic and academic experience alongside my life-long passion - the proliferation of athletes with my extensive knowledge, skills and athleticism - I am able to help them reach their highest achievements and beyond. My ultimate desire is to observe our athletes succeed in their career and in life; if I can be a part of their success, helping them reach their definitive goals I will have attained my main objective. To reiterate, this is the focal aim of GP Training – to assist in our athletes’ path of conquering their dreams.

I created GP Training and put together a strong, solid, likeminded, goal oriented, hard working and aligned team - each specifically selected - conveying and delivering their own unique qualities & expertise, to assist our recruits / athletes, their families / support system (who are the true backbone of any athlete’s success), reach their full potential and beyond. Take the next step in your athletic journey towards a successful and bright future with us – it starts now!
