We are a club that started 18 years ago with just 24 kids and has grown to over 140 competitors. Our goal is to build a love for the sport through training, competition, while keeping an emphasis on character, integrity, and sportsmanship.

I recently retired after a 20 year career in the United States Air Force and have been involved with youth wrestling for the past 12 years. I have been involved in multiple areas of the youth wrestling program from coaching all ranges of athletes from beginners to advanced wrestlers as well as being club President. During my time as club President I was involved in managing day-to-day operations which includes liaison with local wrestling communities, organizing wrestling events, and advocating for youth wrestling programs. I have loved the sport since my own childhood and am now enjoying watching my own sons progress through his wrestling career. I am excited to be the Red Team Coach, by being able to work with the next generation of wrestlers for the Pike Peak Warrior family. Our youngest members of the club are a vital part and determine where the club's future is headed. My biggest focus for the Red Team will be introducing them to a sport that has been a large part of my life as well as my families, by introducing them to the wrestling community and learning the basics and fundamentals. However, the most important aspect of being a coach for the new generation of wrestlers is to ensure a fun, safe and enjoyable experience that will hopefully allow them the chance to appreciate the sport as much as I do.
I have been involved in wrestling since age 5. I was always taught to train and compete at the highest level. I have experience coaching in multiple levels . I have always loved and enjoyed the sport. It has guided me in my everyday life to be a good person.
I like the mental toughness the sport builds and the tough skin we need to succeed in life. Wrestling brings out good character through hard work, dedication and forces our youth to enjoy winning while learning to pick ourselves up in defeat.
I am excited to share my knowledge with anyone who wants to learn and look forward to guiding our young Warriors to be top level wrestlers and most importantly good people to society.
I look forward to watching our wrestlers grow into the people they will become in the future.
