Born and raised in Romulus, Coach Davis built his foundation through high-level competition as both a player and coach, earning multiple athletic scholarships and competing at the collegiate level in both the United States and Canada.
His playing career included time at Kirtland Community College, followed by NCAA and Canadian university competition at Algoma University, and Lake Superior State University, where he was part of multiple championship-level environments and helped contribute to a GLIAC Conference Championship season (2014–2015).
Beyond basketball, Coach Davis has also been part of state tournament appearances across multiple programs and has contributed to 2 State Championships in Basketball and Track & Field, reinforcing a multi-sport understanding of athletic development, speed, movement, and performance.
