Coach J

Founder & Director of CT Ravens

Coach J’s love for basketball started as a young child. He grew up playing basketball throughout childhood and continued into high school where he became team captain, set the scoring record for his school, and led his team to win their first District & Conference Championship since 1973. J went on to play ball in college at St. Louis University and signed with a pro team overseas in Germany following his freshman year. After many injuries including a fractured tibia, his pro career ended after 8 years.

With over 10 years of experience in coaching & running clinics, he is ready to transition his talents to giving back to the community and helping young men achieve their goals. J currently serves as the Director of Anytime Fitness in Somers CT, where he can support his clients in reaching their fitness goals.

Off of the court, J is deeply committed to his family, often spending his free time shooting around with his kids or helping his wife with home projects. His approach to coaching and life is deeply rooted in his values of hard work, integrity, and family.
