Head coach of University of St. Thomas Women's Basketball @USTTommiesWBB
St. Thomas alum.
Building strong, confident women, who dare greatly.
Family based.
Yesterday, the world lost a beautiful woman and I lost my mother. She was an inspiration. She beat cancer, raised 5 kids, touched the lives of all 13 grandkids, and a great grandchild. She was so full of life, joy, and love. I thank everyone for their prayers and condolences.
Today I said goodbye to my mother, a wonderful, courageous woman who loved deeply. She was a beacon of light in my life and I will carry her in my heart. Thank you for all the condolences, I will miss her greatly.
Yesterday I said goodbye to my Father. Dad was indescribable with the joy he brought without saying much. He was a steady solid anchor who brought laughter and love where ever he went. He was my rock, my assistant coach, and my biggest supporter in life. I will miss him greatly.

“I want these young guys to learn about the joy of family, the joy of what will matter in their life. Sports is one of the greatest classrooms that I can think of and adversity is maybe the greatest teacher.” (Tony Bennett, Virginia basketball coach)
Not many teams have the opportunity to finish their seasons with a win. We did. Check out these photos from our win @ Nebraska-Omaha! #TheClimb#RollToms#FinishOnAHigh
So PROUD of our team & their grit. This group epitomized what it means to wear the Tommie Jersey on a D1 stage. Couldn’t ask for a better group to embark on this historic transition.
For our seniors, we can’t thank them enough for their contributions to the program. #RollToms
