Coaching Qualifications: D license
Coaching Experience: I have always known that I wanted to coach soccer. I originally obtained my E
and D license while still in high school. I had a successful coaching stint with the TKO U-13 boys several
years ago, before relocating out of the area. After taking some time off from coaching, I have spent the
last two years coaching in the TKO Minis/Juniors program.
Playing Experience: TKO Premier SC, Paw Paw High School (4 year varsity captain), Western Michigan
University
Why I Coach for TKO Premier SC: I was always extremely proud to represent TKO Premier SC as a player,
and as a previous coach. I want to help kids maximize their potential and help create the same
memories and opportunities this great soccer club created for me.
Fun Fact About Me: My wife and I are Manchester United fans. So much so, that we named our 6-
year-old son Beckham (after David Beckham) and our 3-year-old golden retriever Rooney (after Wayne Rooney).
