Trevor’s passion for basketball began at a young age with a dream to become the first Asian-American to play in the NBA (ask him about it sometime). Even though that goal was not realized, Trevor found his calling in coaching basketball, having now dedicated 15+ years to mentoring and inspiring the next generation at all levels from kindergarten to high school.

Trevor believes sports can be life’s greatest teacher, focusing not only enhancing basketball skills but fostering personal growth and development off the court.

Let’s get to work.
