Meet Keith
I am the Director of Athletics and Head Women’s Basketball Coach at Gwynedd Mercy University. I have spent 32 years inside NCAA athletics. I am a coach and a parent, so I see recruiting from both sides.
32 years in NCAA athletics. 518 career coaching wins. 9 NCAA Tournament appearances.
I am not a recruiting service. I’m an educational organization that guides families through the college athletic recruiting process. My goal is the same for every family: your child finds the right fit and thrives there.
