I founded Essaray Hockey in 2026. I grew up in Ballston Spa, NY playing youth hockey throughout the Capital Region before going on to play juniors in the NAHL, NCDC and CCHL. From there I went on to attend and play NCAA Hockey at Hamilton College in the NESCAC.

During my time at Hamilton I had the opportunity to intern with the Hockey Analytics Department of the St. Louis Blues where I was involved in amateur scouting, professional scouting and contract negotiation preparation. In my final years at Hamilton I began consulting for the Nanaimo Clippers of the BCHL helping them to a Coastal Conference Championship before falling to the Penticton Vees in the Fred Page Cup.

After graduation I moved to the West Coast where I worked as a Regional Scout and Manager of Hockey Operations for 85 Sports Management. At the same time I was coaching the UCLA Bruins ACHA program and led the team to Western Regionals in all three of my seasons there. I then took an assistant coaching position with Trine Thunder in the NCHA where the program reached as high as number seven in the country and made a run to the NCAA Elite Eight.

Most recently I served as an Assistant Coach at SUNY Cortland where the Red Dragons reached the SUNYAC Semi-Finals. I started Essaray Hockey to bring everything I have learned as a player and coach back to where it all began and give kids in this region a place to grow the game the right way.
