Bio

It is my honor and privilege to serve as your head football coach. I am so grateful for the opportunity to serve this community and work with our student athletes at Commerce High School. I am committed to building a program of excellence in everything we do. It is my belief that Commerce High School has the resources with outstanding student athletes, elite facilities, and great community pride that will allow me to install a state championship football program.
Today we begin the 2025 Football season; it is time for us to change the future of Commerce Football. Without knowing each other we are instantaneously bonded by one common goal: the success of Commerce Football! To reach that goal it will take an incredible amount of work and dedication from all of us.
I have spent my entire life around Championship programs. As a former student athlete, I played at BYU, one of the winningest divisions 1 football programs in the Nation. As a coach I have worked for two programs that have won state championships. In 2011 I was privileged to be part of the Grayson football program and experience winning a State Championship. As a Head Coach at Centennial, I helped change the program and led them to the state playoffs for only the 5th time in the schools 20-year history. As the Head Coach at Collins Hill High school, I led the program to the school’s first state championship in 2021. Last year at Gordon Central I led the program to the first playoff appearance in 12 years. The 2025 season is going to be a great year for Commerce Football. I see such a wonderful opportunity for achievement at Commerce High School My wife Kathy and our family are excited to be a part of such a wonderful community. I am thrilled to work at such a beautiful school and amazing student athletes. I am ecstatic to begin our journey together. I would like to briefly share some of the beliefs and coaching philosophy with you:

We will do everything, from the way we dress, the way we act, our grades, the way we practice, the way we stretch, the way our locker room looks, the way we coach with excellence.
We will be disciplined and respectful of the game and the attention to detail that it takes to win.
We will invest in our players and hold them accountable.
We will refuse to deal in the negatives, everything we do will be positive.
We will be fundamentally sound.
We will be consistent in every phase of the process.
We will establish one united Commerce Tiger Family.
We will out work our opponents in every phase.
We will be better prepared than every opponent.
We will represent ourselves, our community and Commerce High school the right way.
