“One thing is for sure - Coach D’ was born to coach. His infectious positive ENERGY shines through in his program each and every day. Coach D’ has an immeasurable impact at both of his San Francisco schools, Visitacion Valley and ER Taylor. He’s the kind of coach who steps up to offer a hand whenever support is needed. Both of his school communities, and myself, are so grateful for everything that Coach D’ does each and every day!”
