The next era of Buena Chiefs football is underway.

He also served as the offensive coordinator for Oakcrest high school.

He takes over a Chiefs program that went 0-8 in 2023 under coach Greg Gruver.  They were 4-7 in 2022 and 1-8 during his first season in 2021.

Gruver replaced longtime coach Jonathan Caputo after the 2020 season.
