Through the years, Neil has coached for Royal Oak Kimball, Fraser and presently at Dakota

Driven by his passion, he also co-owned 2 volleyball clubs (Ultimate VB and Max Intensity VBC) and created a program using video analysis, and a hitting machine he built himself which was presented at Big Tournaments and numerous high schools.
