Personal
A standout student-athlete out of Mater Dei High School, Dazé went on to play outside hitter at UC San Diego where he graduated in 2006 with a degree in Human Development. In Spring 2015, he earned his master’s degree in Educational Psychology at Pepperdine University.
A true student of the game coupled with his passion and enthusiasm for the learning process, Dazé has been fortunate to experience success at every level. Now entering his 20th club season with additional experiences coaching at the high school, collegiate and professional levels Dazé is more excited than ever to continue his time with ACTYVE now as one of the directors!!!
