Garrett joined the WAVE coaching staff in 2024! Prior to coaching at WAVE, he coached at Carolina Union Volleyball Club where he also played club. Originally from North Carolina, he started playing volleyball when he was in 8th grade and started the first boys league in the state. He was extremely influential in the growth of boys volleyball for both middle schoolers and high schoolers. After high school, he played 2 years at Miramar College in Oceanside, CA.

Garrett believes the most important thing to coach is well-roundedness. His philosophy is to mold kids into volleyball players, not just position players. He strongly believes that developing all of the skills of volleyball sets up players for success not only in the present but also for their future teams, whether club or college. He strives to create a fun and open environment for every player on the team. When players are allowed to use their creativity on the court they are more engaged and have more fun.
