Who I am

I was born and raised in southern California and started playing soccer at the age of 5. I played 4.5 years at the University of New Mexico. I then went on to play 7 years of professional soccer. I played for Reno 1868 FC (USL), the San Jose Earthquakes (MLS), Orange County SC (USL), and New Mexico United (USL). I scored 51 goals and recorded 34 assists over 170 games as a professional.

Since joining the University of New Mexico in the summer of 2012 I have loved integrating myself in the soccer community here in Albuquerque and sharing my knowledge of the game with the next generation of soccer players. I believe that technically improving takes a lot of hard work and dedication beyond the training you get with your club or high school teams. I also believe that learning the ability to score goals at a high level is one of the hardest aspects of the game of soccer but with dedication anyone can improve their ability to create and score goals. I can’t wait to help youth players along their soccer journey and give back to the game that has given me so much life.

I received my U.S. Soccer “B” Coaching License in April 2024.
