Sports has been a lifelong journey for me. Growing up in the small town of Erie, PA, I played every sport but specifically excelled in soccer. After playing years of travel soccer, I accepted an athletic scholarship to play at Gannon University where I helped lead the “Golden Knights” to the NCAA tournament and finished 12th in the nation in assists. I continued my soccer career at the professional level. After an incredible 10 year professional career playing soccer all over the USA and playing for teams in Sweden and Malaysia, I decided to follow my passion for helping kids excel in sports. I became a full-time coach–coaching at the high school and travel level where I could give kids the tools to fulfill their dreams. And now, working with NCSA, I utilize my extensive playing and coaching experience to help kids and families navigate the crazy recruiting landscape.
