Let's get you sewing gorgeously! Starting from any skill level or none at all, tell me your project goals, and I will get you there. I began formal training in sewing and pattern work at 7 years old. I have been sewing ever since, mainly as a theatrical costume designer, but I also quilt, embroider, pattern draft, paint fabrics, sculpt leather, etc. I've taught beginning hand sewing to 4 year olds all the way up to costume design and alterations for theater students. What can I help you create?

I have been ranked Number 1 Soccer Private Coach in USA. Former Pro soccer player from Brazil. I can take you to the next level. Learn how to be a skillful player. Giving you ball control and game vision. I was born and raised in Brazil, where soccer has always been a central part of my life. I played at both the college and professional levels in Brazil before moving to the United States in 2003, shortly after earning my degree in Economics from the Federal University of Viçosa. Since then, I’ve been living and coaching in the U.S. for over 20 years. I became a USSF-certified referee and coach in 2005 and have dedicated myself to training athletes of all ages and backgrounds ever since. My coaching experience ranges from working with high-level athletes to individuals looking to improve their fitness and well-being. I have a strong passion for private coaching because it allows for focused attention, customized feedback, and a deeper understanding of technique. Unlike group settings, private sessions ensure that each client receives full attention, leading to faster progress and a more meaningful experience. My goal is to empower clients to take control of their fitness journey by combining expert guidance with practical tools. I believe in blending light gym-based strength training with high-intensity indoor or outdoor workouts to create balanced, effective programs that boost performance, health, and confidence.
"My son has been taking lessons from Marcello for last 3 years. On an average he takes minimum 5 weekly lessons in summer and minimum 5 in winter/early spring. We would love to take more but between club/school soccer practices and games it becomes difficult. My sons technique has improved tremendously. At a recent tryout for a premier club team, the coaches said that technically my son has all skills needed for his age group and that he is up there with the best players. I give full credit to Marcello for this. Now my son needs to work more on his fitness. Marcello met us at a gym and showed what equipment is best to avoid injuries and stay fit from soccer point of view. As a parent I very highly recommend Marcello as a coach!! We wish we could have started our son at a much earlier age with him.

"Coach Neal is awesome. He broke down the skills into small pieces so that my 8 year-old son wouldn't get frustrated. After only 1 hour my son showed a great improvement, and when he went to basketball practice later in the week he had increased confidence, was getting shots into the basket, was passing with his teammates, and was very happy. Coach Neil is worth every penny.
