Head Coach & Co-Founder
The hometown coach
Born and raised in the Tri-Cities, Michael brings an accomplished background in athletic development and mentorship back to his hometown. A former collegiate athlete turned coach, he has developed student-athletes at both the high school and college levels, and built a real passion for helping them grow on and off the field.
After his playing career at Eastern Oregon University, where he earned a degree in Business Administration and Marketing, he coached the Defensive Backs there in 2022, coordinated recruiting across Utah and Arizona, and ran player development through daily meetings and game planning. He went on to coach the Defensive Backs at Kennewick High School from 2023 to 2024, then the Defensive Backs and Quarterbacks at Hanford High School in 2025 before being named Defensive Coordinator for 2026.
His coaching leans on fundamentals, accountability, and individual attention. The mission is straightforward: bring high-level, affordable training to his hometown and develop better people, not just better players.
