I have been playing soccer since I was 8 years old. My passion led me to play and compete in the Central Jersey Finals for Hopewell Valley Central High School and furthermore become a 4 Year starter at Moravian College (Moravian University).

I currently use my qualified background to help athletes become performance ready. Under my training, athletes become faster, stronger, and fitter. Additionally, I am able to help prevent injuries and accelerate any recovery process through my love of strength and conditioning.

The sole mission is to foster participants in both the athletic and academic platform with the idea of the highest levels of personal success to be achieved. This is not just a temporary fix; it is a lifestyle change and a way of life. I’m committed to community service, social change, and a better tomorrow!

I come from a soccer background. Watching my father coach and play and my brother play up until it was my turn to start my journey when teams were available. My father has won multiple state cup championships and is currently a scout and trainer for the New York Redbulls as well as coaching two teams at Trumbull United. I played for him for 5 years, from the age of 6-11, playing 3 years up and winning two state cups with that team. I then transitioned to beachside for two years. From there i played at south central academy. I was the 2nd person in the history of Trumbull high to make varsity as a freshman and went on to be the leading goal scorer in the fciac as a freshman. I left Trumbull high and went to south kent boarding school where i would go on to win two national championships and multiple regional nepsac championships under the legendary coach Owen Finberg. After that, i went on to play college soccer. I am currently still in college and playing at the upsl level as well as usl2. I had ankle surgery over the fall, so i will not be playing this school year. I have more than enough time to give my all to coaching and developing the next generation. Soccer is my passion and in my blood. Being a current player at a high level and playing amongst the top in the country has given me knowledge of the game that you cannot simply learn by watching videos or reading a textbook. I have a lot to offer having played striker, cdm, left back, wingback, my entire career.

My experience with Putnam Valley’s Basketball program and DreamHack Sports Games has provided me with a strong foundation in coaching, organizing, and mentoring. I developed superior communication skills at DreamHack in Copenhagen, Denmark, having worked with a diverse international organization. This opportunity allowed me to teach people from different backgrounds and bring them together for a common goal. As a coach for Putnam Valley, I consistently build my players' skills and enthusiasm during practice sessions and games. Not only do I want my team to become better players, but I also want to assist them in becoming well-rounded individuals. My experiences have instilled in me the importance of promoting student leadership and the development of exemplary student-athletes who strive for competitive excellence, academic achievement, and a commitment to service. I am also a certified personal trainer through NASM and certified in CPR/AED. I would be open to assisting the athletes in the gym and the kitchen as I studied sports nutrition through a minor in food studies.
