BIO

I was born and raised in the United Kingdom. Soccer played a huge role in my growing years as I played for school and travel teams up to U16. As a teenager I didn’t fully appreciate the influence my coaches had on me, but to this day I can remember pivotal moments, both good and bad. I’m mindful of this every day I’m on the field coaching. My love for the game continued into adulthood where I played two seasons of club soccer at Coventry University as well as playing adult leagues in England and Northern Ireland.

My first experience of soccer coaching came as a summer camp counselor where I took charge of teams from U14 to U10. Most recently I’ve coached Rivendell teams at the U12 and U10 levels, I’m excited to be working with an older age group again. My philosophy is not on whether we win or lose, but how we played the game. My hope is that our RESC teams not only have a fun, but that will build a strong sense of comradeship through sportsmanship, and hopefully instill a lifelong appreciation of this game among our athletes.

Away from soccer I’m the Director of Operations at the Aloha Foundation in Fairlee, VT. I live in Fairlee with my wife, Katie, and our two sons, Will and Alex.
