Founder and CoachWhen I founded CSA, I did so with one goal in mind: to serve God with the purpose he gave me. Through my time and experience, I have learned I will fulfill that purpose through teaching the beautiful game. I have been kicking the ball since I was four years old, and still haven’t stopped. In my youth I played at the HOSA rec program, moving on to play for various clubs around the local area. This foundation gave me the opportunity to play two years of varsity soccer at Hilliard Darby High School, and move on to play college club soccer at Miami University. In my experience, my dream shifted from being a professional player to being the voice that helps students achieve their dreams. I developed a love for coaching when I was just 15 years old, helping as a camp coach for HOSA; I have since been at HOSA in various roles, being a Referee Coordinator, Field Manager, and now current Rec Coordinator and U15 Boys Head Coach. Behind the scenes, I have been coaching personal training sessions helping various clients for almost five years now. If there is one thing you should know about me it’s that I spend everyday working to combine my unmeasurable love for this game with my gift to teach, which God graciously has given me.

CoachI bring over 15 years of experience, specializing in U7-U12 players. Committed to long term development, my focus lies on developing solid fundamentals, foot skills and teamwork while fostering a love for the game. With encouragement and a positive approach, I create an environment where players feel empowered to grow and improve. Coaching is a passion because I love to see how soccer makes a positive impact on life skills that extend beyond the field, skills like discipline, perseverance and teamwork.

CoachSoccer has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. While my competitive playing career ended after my final season of varsity soccer at Hilliard Darby, my coaching career was just beginning. From my time at Darby through graduating from the University of Notre Dame, I have coached for HOSA, Special Olympics, and hosted individual training sessions. In all these pursuits, I am most fulfilled by helping my athletes reach a potential that they didn’t know they could reach. This is why I love coaching, and continue to put my focus toward it.
