Coaching Qualifications: USSF D; USC Foundations of Coaching; and USC Goalkeeping Level 1
Coaching Experience: I have coached for TKO Premier since 2018
Playing Experience: Kalamazoo Soccer Club, Kalamazoo Central High School, Various adult outdoor and indoor leagues
Why I coach for TKO Premier SC: I love to help young people grow as soccer players and as people. TKO puts players first and creates an environment where they are challenged to develop. The collective knowledge and experience of the coaching staff helps me to improve as a coach and a leader.
Fun fact about me: My favorite meal is cooking paella with friends or family. I’m pretty good at FIFA 94. Manchester United is my favorite team and I’ve gotten to watch them play three times in the US. A life goal is to travel to Old Trafford with my boys to watch a game there.
