I am a Kansas City native. I have played for ODP at the State level and competed Internationally; that led to relocating to San Diego, California as I seized the opportunities I was offered for advancement. I have competed for San Diego Surf, Albion San Diego, & City S.C. As I continue to play soccer competitively, I want to bring what I have learned forward to others and be part of their developmental journey. As an owner of Refine Soccer Training, we can provide data analytics and elite level training that allows us to optimize and evaluate each training session. The idea is to identify your desired goals and to work together to create specific training plans for individuals at any age and any level to then take action in our versatile and progressive training environments.

As a coach, while I'm dedicated to guiding aspiring athletes, my own playing career is far from over. I continue to compete in the semi-professional leagues in San Diego, California, where I apply the very principles I instill in my players – dedication, hard work, and passion for the game.

as a coach, I'm committed to passing on this knowledge and instilling in my players the same level of dedication and determination that has defined my journey.

This dual role allows me to bridge the gap between playing and coaching, providing a unique perspective that benefits both myself and those I mentor. It's a journey that combines the thrill of competition with the joy of nurturing the next generation of athletes.
