With over 28 years of soccer experience, I bring a lifelong passion for the game to every team I coach. I played competitively at Miramonte High School and have spent my life immersed in youth soccer—as both a player and a dedicated coach.

Whether working with beginners or experienced players, I focus on creating a positive, disciplined, and high-energy environment where young athletes can grow and thrive. I don’t just coach the game—I build players who love it, live it, and leave it all on the field.
