He has coached wheelchair tennis and wheelchair rugby at the University of Arizona. "I had a lot of different coaches that helped me along the way, and that's where I learned my skills from. The job opened up, and it was a perfect fit. My athletic director really encouraged me to take the job; he thought I would be good at it. It's been a great job for me, and I've coached six Paralympians now [speaking in 2017], in addition to myself." (teamusa.org, 01 Jan 2021; usopen.org, 07 Sep 2017)
