Meet Benji

Over 30 Years of Coaching Experience...

My passion is working with people of all abilities — aspiring young athletes, as well as anyone of any age interested in learning a new skill and getting some exercise. 


In addition to coaching, I offer math tutoring for grades 3 - 8 (same rates). I am a credentialed teacher with a 20-year career in elementary education, most recently (2009-2020) as the 5th grade teacher at West Side Elementary in Healdsburg, CA. 


Looking to supplement your home school curriculum? Sign up for basketball and math!

 

I look forward to hearing from you!

count how many free throws in a row...

Hint #1: What is Steph Curry's jersey number?

Hint #2: What is Benji wearing?


The make shift pole between Benji and the basket is a reminder to think UP FIRST. True story... Benji's personal best is 96 (witnessed by Petaluma High School, Boys Varsity).

Check out Benji's NBA 3-pointer.

Bonus 3-point shot... remember, think Up First.

(Nothing fancy needed... a tree stand, pipe, and ball does the trick.)
