TNBA Career

Started working for TNBA Tampa in May of 2022 after leaving his career in middle school student services/team coaching, to pursue a fulltime coaching career. Kaleb was first introduced to the Orlando Magic Youth Camp Program as an assistant coach but quickly learned the ropes and climbed to Camp Director by the end of his first summer. After completing his first year working camps, he signed on as a trainer and quickly became a top AAU coach, league director and is still overseeing dozens of camps annually. TNBA has presented countless opportunities for him to work with players of all levels including professional athletes (NBA/WNBA), collegiate level players (JUCO all the way to D1), and most importantly, youth players with infinite potential to reach those levels as well. Kaleb loves what TNBA has done in the city of Tampa, impacting hundreds of lives both young and old over his time with the organization, and looks forward to continuing the growth of the program for years to come.
