Meet the Coach

I have five years of professional playing experience, competing internationally in Spain, Denmark, Armenia, and the Eurasian League. My background also includes EuroLeague preseason experience, NBA G-League training camp experience, and representing the Armenian National Team.

Throughout my career, I’ve been part of winning programs at every level. I am a 3x CIF Division 1 Central Valley Champion, CIF State Division 1 Final 4 participant, 2x CCAA League Champion, NCAA West Region Champion, and Danish Cup Champion. Individually, I was honored as Fresno Player of the Year, CMAC League MVP, All-State California Division 1 First Team, a 3x CCAA All-Conference selection, and NCAA West Region All-Tournament Team recipient.

I’m a proud graduate of Chico State University, where I developed not only as a player but as a leader and competitor.

I’m truly looking forward to bringing this experience, knowledge, and competitive mindset to Newport Beach and helping athletes here reach their highest potential.

I had the opportunity to serve as an Assistant Coach for the Armenian National Team, where we earned a friendly international victory over Ireland, giving me valuable experience coaching at the highest level of the game. At Laguna Hills High School, I was proud to help our program capture a Golden West League Championship and a CIF Division VI Championship. Whether I'm coaching elite athletes or young players just beginning their basketball journey, my passion is helping each athlete reach their full potential by developing their skills, confidence, character, and love for the game.

I had the privilege of training and participating in NBA Pre-Draft Workouts, where I experienced firsthand the level of preparation, discipline, and attention to detail required to compete at the highest level of basketball. Working alongside top prospects and learning from NBA coaches and personnel gave me valuable insight into what separates elite athletes. Those experiences continue to shape my coaching philosophy, and I strive to bring the same professional standards, skill development, and competitive mindset to every athlete I train, helping them maximize their potential both on and off the court.
