I started out as a Varsity Assistant Coach at West Cabarrus High School for a year while also coaching younger athletes (ages 6-11) on the side through summer soccer camps.
I then managed the CSA ECNL 05' men's team leading the team to the state cup finals.
More recently, I've spent the last year coaching/managing the UNC Club soccer team and plan to continue doing this throughout the year.

Recruited to play internationally in Spain for the summer of 2019.
Played as a midfielder for a UNC-Chapel Hill related Club Soccer Team.
Captained the Charlotte Soccer Academy ECNL team in the league’s top division making it to the finals in the State cup and winning multiple Jefferson cups.
Played 4 years on High School Varsity and captained the team for 2.

My training sessions are structured using insights drawn from conversations with Anson Dorrance, the legendary UNC Women’s Soccer Coach who led his program to 21 NCAA Championships. After meeting with Coach Dorrance and studying how he runs his practices, I’ve adapted many of his principles into my own session design.
Each session is tailored based on the athlete’s position, age, and specific goals. For younger or beginner athletes, sessions focus on core fundamentals and building confidence in a high-energy environment. For more advanced players, the training becomes more technical and position-specific, targeting refined skill work, decision-making under pressure, and game-realistic scenarios.
Whether it’s a player looking to improve their first touch, sharpen their finishing, or work on high-intensity conditioning, each session is carefully planned to maximize growth while keeping the environment focused and motivating.
