Why I coach for TKO Premier SC:  It’s exciting to return to the club that I was affiliated with almost two decades ago as a coach.  TKO provides a high level of competitiveness that brings top players from around the area.  I look forward to the opportunity to foster player development and a love for the game of soccer.

Fun fact about me:  I had the opportunity to coach Brandon Bye of the New England Revolution during my time at Portage Northern High School.

Parent Perspective: As a parent and coach it’s a unique experience that has allowed for me to understand the opportunities that come with supporting your child and the team to be successful.  Both roles are important and require a realistic approach.  It’s exciting to see the growth that happens for young people on many levels when they are part of a team.
