Have you ever met someone who is one-of-a-kind? Then, meet Coach Gio. As Youth Athletic Director, he is responsible for everything on the court & fields, including curriculum, coach training, & athletes. 

His work in a special education classroom & his love for sports sparked his interest in leading athletes with special needs. Did you know that one of his hobbies includes collecting tennis shoes of all kinds, cookies are his favorite dessert & he changes hairstyles every season?
