Why did you choose to play soccer?

When I was first able to walk, my father put a soccer ball in front of me and the rest is history.  My passion for the game comes from my family, as nearly everyone played at some point.  The games we played at family parties were some of the most competitive matches of soccer I have ever played!

Why did you choose to coach soccer?

Since I was younger I always had a passion to give back and help others. That giving mentality first manifested itself when I was young, when I started to design 'inventions' to help people make life easier.  While the 'inventions' weren't great, the passion to help burned bright, and after college, was focused into my passion of soccer.  Coaching is a natural fit, something I enjoy immensely and look forward to each and every day!
