Owned & coached Red Hawk Wrestling Club for 8 years, gave private lessons for 18 (~15 per week). My main goal was to create college level wrestlers at a young age. Focused deeply on improvement, not results. This helped create 100+ state placers and 25+ state champs in the 8 years I ran Red Hawk. Averaged 20+ PA state placers and 3-5 champs per year.
Nathan Desmond (my nephew), Tyler Kasak, Kollin Rath, Keanu Dillard, Collin Gaj were my students for ~7 years, all top 5 in the nation in high school (end of 2023). Super proud of them and everyone else I coached.
Started wrestling at 7, grew up at RH, wrestled through college. State champ before high school, won Eastern Nationals (MAWA) & Ohio ToC, Tulsa runner-up.
Went to Easton Area High School. Placed 2nd, 2nd, 3rd at PIAA states (AAA), won Reno ToC 3 times +OW, top 5 in the nation individually.
Attended Lehigh University: EIWA 1st, 4xNCAA qualifier, reached round of 12. Ranked as high as #6 in the nation.
