Education

I was born and raised in Delaware. A graduate of Glasgow High School in 1989. I then attended UNC Asheville on a soccer scholarship afterwards transferring to UNC Charlotte. This is where I received my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology. I finished my education at Wilmington University where I received my Masters in Educational Counseling.

Soccer Information

I grew up a Kirkwood player, playing for the Kirkwood Arsenal and coached by Henry Fusco. After high school I played at both UNC Asheville and UNC Charlotte. I then came back to Delaware to play for the Delaware Wizards periodically from 1994-1997. Throughout my playing career I coached various teams starting in North Carolina at North Mecklemburg High School in Charlotte. Once back in Delaware I worked with a few Kirkwood teams and became a Head Coach for the Delaware ODP in 1995. After coaching William Penn High School girls and boys for two years I moved on to Mt. Laurel United, New Jersey where I worked in different capacities from trainer to the Director of Training. While in New Jersey I worked with their ODP program for seven years ending in 2003 as coach of the regional champion and national finalist u17's. During my last two years in New Jersey I commuted to Delaware as the Head coach of the Salesianum Soccer Team and a guidance counselor. Both positions I still hold. For the past three years I have also been the Director of Coaching for Hockessin Soccer Club and have had the opportunity to coach various teams and help develop some of the over 2000 kids in the club. Along with my experience I have attained my USSF ALicense and Brazilian B License.

Guidance Information

I am thankful for the opportunity to work at Salesianum particularly in my capacity as a guidance counselor. I have been in the guidance department for four years as of 2007 and am excited about the departments future. There are some interesting new programs that have come about in my time here like the Naviance Program, Junior Advisory Program, Group Meetings and the START team. I also teach Sports Psychology and am certified and have taught AP Psycholgy.
