As a youth soccer coach in Des Moines, I’ve had the privilege of training thousands of players. My goal is to help athletes grow into detailed, disciplined thinkers - players who can solve problems, compete with desire, and commit to something bigger than themselves. I coach work ethic, self-awareness, critical decision-making, and accountability, because how you play as part of a team reflects how you show up in life.
I'm proud to coach for the Dowling Catholic Girls Soccer program, where I get to work with driven, talented athletes who bring passion and focus to the field every day. Our approach goes beyond competition — it’s about building character, teamwork, and confidence that carry through every part of life.
Coaching is one part of how I stay connected to the game — Kick It Forward is another. Through this nonprofit, we’re giving kids more chances to play by building mini-pitches, hosting free clinics, and creating community-driven soccer experiences across Iowa and beyond. It’s about using the game to open doors and create opportunities for kids to grow and connect.
