Coach Fish began his scouting career as a football talent scout working with an NFL agent, where he evaluated football prospects and worked with college athletes pursuing opportunities at the professional level. That experience helped develop his understanding of talent evaluation, athletic measurables, film study, player development, and the characteristics that separate athletes as they progress to higher levels of competition.

Coach Fish later expanded his scouting and evaluation work into the high school sports landscape. He has covered and evaluated athletes as a scout and writer for Prep Girls Hoops and Prep Hoops, while also contributing coverage within competitive soccer. His experience includes attending high school, club, showcase, and national events to identify emerging prospects, evaluate under-the-radar talent, and provide insight into athlete development and college recruiting.

As the founder of Coach Fish Recruiting & Academic Scholarships, Coach Fish works directly with student-athletes and families navigating the college recruiting process. His approach goes beyond athletic ability and exposure, emphasizing academics, communication with college programs, honest evaluations of an athlete’s potential level, and finding the right overall college fit. His work has allowed him to build relationships with college coaches and programs across multiple sports and levels of competition.
