• I began playing soccer because my Dad. My Dad was born in Naples Italy where soccer is played religiously and he instilled that passion in me at a young age. My dad played and coached in the community and I was immediately drawn to the sport.   

• I coach the game because I want to instill that passion for a sport that drives a person to do great things within the game of soccer. I have had great coaches throughout my playing career and they challenged me to work hard and encouraged me to express myself through the game, I hope to do the same for the players that I coach.
