COACH DUSTIN

Coach Dustin stepped into coaching volleyball in recent years and has since gained experience at both the club and high school levels. He’s committed not only to developing strong skills, communication, and teamwork, but also to shaping character, leadership, and healthy relationships - believing that who athletes become matters more than how they play.

Dustin is grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside athletes as they discover their strengths, learn to support one another, and grow both on and off the court.

Outside the gym, Dustin enjoys life with his wife, two daughters, two dogs, and two rabbits. He runs low-cost adult volleyball and soccer leagues to facilitate new friendships in the community, loves hockey, and is most content sitting on his boat with fly-fishing rod in hand from dawn to dusk.
