Coach Dylan was born and raised in Nebraska. He grew up in a family that loved volleyball and spent many weekends at club tournaments for his sister as the team ball boy. Coach Dylan grew up with a strong desire to play volleyball. However, due to growing up in a small town with no boy’s high school or club team within 90 miles, it wasn’t until he got to the University of Nebraska that he was able to start playing in indoor and sand leagues. While at Nebraska, Coach Dylan attended nearly every home Nebraska Volleyball game. Seeing the play at such a high level, he began dissecting the game and his love for the game deepened. His freshman year of college, he coached his hometown’s girl’s club team.
After college, Coach Dylan moved to New York City and played in a men’s competitive indoor league. Upon moving to Cleveland, he began coaching at AVC and is entering his second season with the club. Coach Dylan’s goal is to develop players with a deep love of the game and the drive to be the best they can be. Outside of volleyball, Coach Dylan is an elementary teacher.
