Its is there that he also started coaching and got his USAV indoor CAP certification while coaching USAV indoors teams and Highland College in Seattle Washington.

Mike competed in the AVA league in the open Division in Seattle for almost a decade with wins throughout his career there at the highest level. He then moved to California in 2015 where he continued to competed.

“Sand volleyball is a place that requires all skills and you have to be able to do all of them with your partner it really is a joy to push yourself to be great in all areas of the game this is the reason why I moved more towards the sand scene.”

Mike moved to California in 2015 with his loving wife and 3 kids that now play volleyball as well, Mike now is enjoying teaching his kids the sport that he fell in love with.

Mike looks forward to sharing his passion, skills and experience on the beach scene with the next generation.
