As a player I progressed from a youth, playing club soccer to becoming a professional and playing overseas in a first division club in Europe. I take the process of development seriously because I know firsthand the steps involved to progress. I implement these steps with staff coaches and always keep the player in mind. Complete development is the goal so we can promote passion, commitment and hard work. These are traits that we hope will show in all aspects of their life.”

I started coaching competitive soccer in order to share my knowledge and experiences that I have gained throughout my life to the new generations of soccer players. I wanted to be able to impact the kids on and off the field with positive, disciplined mentoring. Growing up I played in different places and I experienced different coaching philosophies. My style, heavily influenced by my time in Italy, is a more defensive approach. I am very excited for the future of the Stars Academy and being a part of the tremendous coaching staff.
