I’ve coached men’s and women’s soccer for over 35 years. I have led young men’s and women’s teams of nearly every age group, from youth to college to semi-pro, to the very pinnacle of the sport. Over the span of my career, I’ve won 18 state titles with high school (Albuquerque Academy) and club teams (Rio Vista FC), men’s and women’s, and given yearly clinics at Stanford University and Ft Lewis College.
As a happy consequence of this, I’m lucky enough to say that I’ve placed over 150 girls in college programs with approximately 2 MILLION DOLLARS in scholarship money total.
Below is a listing of my accolades earned with teams I’ve coached throughout the years:
