Former college wrestler, Judoka, and Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, Kenson brings a unique perspective to youth wrestling, prioritizing character development alongside technical skills. As a father of a high schooler, he understands how to connect with young athletes.

Kenson's coaching philosophy emphasizes creating well-rounded wrestlers who train in various martial arts styles, including Judo, Sambo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and different styles of wrestling. This unconventional approach has led to the success of wrestlers, some with minimal experience - several excelling as far as Top 3 at County and State-level Championships (Folkstyle - Youth to High School), Top 3 finishers at MAWA Regionals (Folkstyle) and USA Wrestling Northeast Regionals (Freestyle and Greco-Roman) and U.S. Nationals (Youth).
