There is a rich tradition that has been established by Rob Chaney and his predecessors. I plan on building on those traditions with an influx of passion, energy, and a vision that will impact our student-athletes’ experience while engaging the campus, alumni, and community that has always supported TCC Athletics.
“This is an unbelievable time to become part of the team at TCC, and I will give every ounce of my energy ensuring that we are developing the type of student-athletes that will go into this world and make a positive impact. We are going to have a winning culture in more ways than just hanging banners, which we definitely plan on doing also.”
