Avid Soccer player, coach and club owner

I’m a passionate soccer player, coach, and club owner with over 40 years of continuous involvement in the sport. Born in Europe, my journey in soccer has been a lifelong commitment. Recently, I’ve expanded my role by becoming certified as both a coach and a referee. Alongside a close friend, I’ve also developed a comprehensive soccer club program.

Our club is all-inclusive, providing a platform for community kids and women to showcase their talents on the field. We work with a team of dedicated coaches, including professionals from nearby colleges, to deliver high-quality training and opportunities. Our mission is to offer a stepping stone towards grants and scholarships, fostering growth and development for all participants.
