Coaching Licenses Held:
United States Soccer Federation (USSF) E License
Coaching Career Highlight:
The interactions with the players – giving them nicknames, having special celebratory handshakes with them, helping them develop their skills to become better players. Even more satisfying is watching them grow into responsible young men, there are many teaching moments on a soccer field that transcend soccer and apply to real life.
Playing Career Highlight:
My dad was born in Germany and most of my dad’s family still live there, having the opportunity to travel, live, and play in Germany as a kid and while growing up.
Why do you like coaching for CiTY?:
From the moment my family moved to Howard County in the Fall of 2019, I have always said that if I started a soccer club, it would be like CiTY. I share the club’s philosophy in player development, both on and off the field, and share the vision of serving the soccer community in a friendly environment where kids can learn and grow.
Personal Info:
I enjoy spending time with my family in my free time – I am usually in our yard and working on projects around our house, and we also enjoy going to 8-10 O’s games each season.
