Q: Becoming a collegiate coach takes a lot of love and dedication to the sport, what first got you interested in soccer as more than just a hobby or pastime?
A: “I grew up with the game. My dad was a very good player and he really taught me to be passionate about soccer. I had an opportunity to play professionally in Ecuador after college and that experience really expanded my appreciation for the game. It was then that I knew I wanted to continue my involvement with the game as a career-whether that was as a professional player or coach. When I stopped playing it seemed a logical step to get into coaching”
