Began my hockey coaching career as an assistant to youth hockey in the house league program.  Advanced to become the head coach for a youth team, which I still coach for each season as our son ages up.

Joined the Carolina Hurricanes Warriors, a member of the USA Hockey Warriors program for disabled military veterans, as an assistant coach for the program.  Became the head coach of the White / Lower Tier team as well as an evaluator of new team members.

With 28 years in Emergency Service work, I have a passion for the safety of players and coaches.  I have taught and advised on medical interventions and actions at ice rinks, as well as made presentations on concussions, lacerations, and mental health.

Information and presentations can be found here and in my scocial media presence under: The Hockey Barn Dad.
