I've always had a passion for working with kids and their unique perspectives on the world. As a father to four wonderful children: Ace (8), Roxie (6), Lou Lou (4), and Canon (2), my life is filled with laughter, curiosity, and plenty of adventure. My wife Caitlin, an inspiring high school varsity level coach, shares my passion for coaching and educating young kids.
I've spent most of my career working with kids, initially in strength and conditioning, where I was lucky enough to help them train for sports, pushing their physical and mental boundaries, and ultimately, aiding them in achieving their goals. This experience provided invaluable insight into children's resilience, their drive to succeed, and their ability to confront challenges with courage and determination.
Now, I've shifted my focus to coaching local youth sports in Garnet Valley, PA, where I continue to apply and expand my skills, all the while encouraging young athletes to strive for their personal best. When I'm not coaching, I love spending time with my family, exploring the outdoors, going to the beach, and dreaming up new stories to share with children everywhere. As someone who values physical health and mental strength, I aim to incorporate these principles into my writing to inspire and empower my young readers.
