Personal Note: I'm as local as it comes. Born and raised 10 minutes from Starfire and live even closer now. Soccer is life!

Coaching History:

PacNW forever and always! I started coaching for fun at 16 and continued as a hobby until graduating college and finding a home at PacNW. I've now been here 10 seasons and look forward to more!
On the way I've coached, EPD, high school, camps, just about everything!

Coaching Philosophy: Individuals develop best when playing thoughtfully and playing for the team. Everything we do, we do together. I want my teams to 'lead' the game by having the ball, calm possession, combinations to advance and creativity to finish. Without the ball, it's no secret - we want it back as soon as possible.
