Jim’s philosophy:

"As a former Division 1 athlete with 30 years of coaching/recruiting experience at the Division 3, Ivy League and Division 1 scholarship level, I have vast insight and experience in all aspects of recruitment, preparation and development of the college-bound athlete. Whether you are just starting out your high school career and college search process or ready to begin your collegiate journey, I can provide you with the tools and guidance to help you obtain your goals and maximize your college athletic and academic experience. As the parent of a college-bound Division 1 athlete, I have a unique perspective from being on the other side of the recruiting and college prep table.
