I’m originally from Colombia and have played soccer since I was six years old, first coached by my father, a former professional player. I competed in local tournaments, the Bogotá league, and eventually played in the second division for a professional team from my city. I’ve also played in the U.S. and France, gaining experience across futsal, turf, and full-field formats. As an NFHS-certified coach, I currently lead futsal training in Beaverton for players ages 5 to 18. My coaching style focuses on proper technique, game intelligence, discipline, and adapting to various styles of play. Each session includes technical drills, tactical exercises, and small-sided games designed to challenge players and build complete, thoughtful athletes.

Beginner or advanced.

I’ve been in the water for over 22 years, and swimming has shaped every part of who I am. As a former NCAA Division I swimmer in the Big Ten Conference at The University of Nebraska-Lincoln, I specialized in butterfly and distance freestyle and was a national qualifier in both events. That experience gave me a deep appreciation for hard work, discipline, and the power of great coaching. Now, as a coach, I’m passionate about helping swimmers develop strong technique, build confidence, and find joy in the process. Whether you're working toward your first race or chasing national cuts, I bring the same energy, knowledge, and support to every athlete I work with. My goal is to create a positive and challenging environment where swimmers can grow and reach their full potential—both in and out of the pool.

I have taught and coached: Computer Science, Physics and Math after a career as an engineer and manager.
