Years Coaching: Since 2006
 
I have had the pleasure of playing soccer since I was 4 years old. I started playing in New Hampshire where my father coached my Club team through the age of 12. Ages 9-12 I had the experience of playing up a year and winning State 2-3 years. I then moved to Tennessee where I continued to play through High School with the great experience of playing on a select team with players from all over the United States as we toured England through the summer. I was then recruited and played for UAH under Coach Lincoln Ziyenge for 4 years as a starting defenseman. From an early age I was always interested in helping others learn the game of soccer.   
 
Coaching Philosophy: The most successful players know that it takes more than talent to win games. Hard work and determination are the keys to success.
