Playing Experience
Played for Harbor Premier and Cosmos FC growing up, where a strong foundation and love for the game were built early on. Also had the opportunity to train under Manchester United’s former player Gordon Hill, gaining valuable insight into the professional level of play. Spent some time playing in England, which brought exposure to a faster, more technical style of soccer. Later played at Tacoma Community College (TCC) and represented the only town in the USL 2, gaining high-level competitive experience in the process.
Off the Field
Born and raised in Washington, spent most of life in Gig Harbor—a town that’s grown a lot over the years—and now living in Tacoma. Enjoys staying active and involved in the local community while balancing time between work, soccer, and personal life. Off the pitch, values time with family and friends and continues to find ways to stay connected to the game.
Coaching Career
Began coaching in high school while working at the local YMCA, leading soccer classes for young kids and developing an interest in teaching the game. About five years ago, started coaching more consistently and professionally. Spent three years coaching at Harbor Premier before moving to Washington Premier, where I have been for the past two years. Currently coaches U10, U12, and U13 all-boys teams, focusing on player development, teamwork, and building a strong foundation both on and off the field. Coaching continues to be a passion and a way to give back to the sport that has always been a central part of life.
