Hey I'm Coach MJ! I am the son of a Coach and was born and raised in the gym. After a successful high school career at Syracuse-Dunbar-Avoca: 2nd Team All-State C1, Single Season 3pt School Record, 2 State Tournament Appearances, I decided to continue my collegiate career at DIII Nebraska Wesleyan University. After 4 seasons with NWU & DIII Player of the Week Honors, I accepted a teaching and coaching position in AZ, where I resided in the desert for 10 years only to come back to the Midwest to raise a family with my beautiful wife & 3 boys. After 5 years of teaching and coaching in SD, I developed a passion for teaching skills on the court which eventually led to the birth of Metaballic Hoops Academy.
