who had the pleasure of working with him. In 1995, Michael's love for basketball inspired one of his most rewarding achievements, founding the non-profit organization High Hoops, which continues to develop future leaders on and off the court, one basket at a time. His vision was to provide his son Justin and many other players he had coached, with a more competitive basketball experience. He was not only a coach, but a friend and father figure to numerous basketball players throughout southwest Florida. Michael was loved and will forever be remembered for his sense of humor, generosity, and devotion to his family and friends. He will continue to live through each of them and will remain in all of our hearts forever.
