Other:              Having played every position on the field growing up, many people described me as a versatile player. I started as a fullback and eventually moved into the goal. From there, I worked my way forward. At 14 years of age I was given the opportunity to play striker and had much success for several years thereafter. When I reached the NVSL, I was placed on defense. Although this was not where I wanted to be, I soon found myself very comfortable and successful in shutting down the attack. 

                        Throughout my soccer career I have learned many different styles of play. I have over 27 years of playing experience at both the amateur and professional levels. Although not fluent, I can speak and understand Spanish quite well.

 

                                “The discipline and respect that’s taught through soccer can directly affect a player in their everyday lives. This game is an absolute passion for me and hopefully it will become a passion for every player that I have the privilege to coach.”
