Personal Accomplishments: Started playing soccer @ the age of 5 for Dallas East Soccer Associate. I continued to play in DESA until age 14. Teams Gunner, Green Mean Machines, & Pirates. Played on the JV team for Bryan Adams High School in 1993.

Also am part of Responsible Sports & have completed the Responsible Sport Coaching Education Program.  Both my kids started playing soccer in GSA when they were 5, & I have shown interest ever since. Started coaching soccer (youth boys & girls)  for Garland Soccer Association in 2006.

I currently still assist my u13 girls team in GSA.  In 2009 I was the GSA u8 boys commissioner. Have been very involved with the GSA board members.
 
Coached 2 season in indoor @ Spectrum.  My son has started playing for Mutiny this season as I currently coach the 02/01 boys team.  My daughter plays for the Texas Blitz now.
 
Coaching Philosophy: I never thought I would love being a soccer coach but here I am & love what I do. I believe that every player must be given the opportunity to make decisions, both good & bad. It is my job to to analyze their results & provide feedback to help them learn from experience. I try to give every player the tools they need to be the best they possibly can be on & off the field.  Practice does not make perfect, perfect practices makes perfect. As a team we win as a team we lose as a team. When we win we must deserve to win! Every player should establish some sort of goal & its my job as a coach to assist them in getting to that goal!
