Coaching Philosophy:
The root of my coaching philosophy is LEO - Love Each Other. Love is defined as an action taken for the benefit of the other. And soccer just happens to be the medium in which we make choices to love ourselves and our teammates. Through the development and preparation of technical, tactical, physical, and psychological skills we willingly take actions for the sake of our fellow team members as we compete at the highest level.

Coaching Philosophy:
My coaching philosophy in one sentence: Do the best you can until you know better—then, when you know better, do better. Coaching is about creating an environment that encourages constant growth, where improvement is expected and embraced. We strive to learn from every experience—successes and failures alike—using those lessons to become better teammates, stronger individuals, and more thoughtful people beyond the game. At the same time, we compete with purpose, giving our best effort in every moment. Growth and effort go hand in hand: we push ourselves to improve while honoring the commitment to compete at our highest level every day.
Playing Experience:
Dominican University
Notable Achievements:
Helping student-athletes work towards their goals as players and people. Competitively, winning collegiate conference championships in 2013, 2018, 2022.
