In his coaching career he reached the highest level in men's college basketball at the NCAA level. His 18-year career includes Iowa State, Marquette, Arizona, and Miami of Ohio. His rise in the coaching world was matched by his dramatic plunge to the depths of depression, children deaths, prison, and a career lost forever. His book, Rebound Forward, highlights his rise in the college coaching world as well as failure, adversity, and tragedy. He is a role model for resilience in the face of life’s most devastating circumstances.

He is an author, speaker, mentor, consultant, and networking expert. He is a certified Life Coach through CoachU and is an Emeritus Coach with the National Association of Basketball Coaches.
