I read, write and speak German fluently. I hold a national coach's license with US Soccer. I have coached soccer for +13 years at all levels with both girls and boys teams at the high school, recreational, club and local levels. My last soccer team was an American and Portuguese mens team that consisted of 5 semi-pro players and won the championship with a 19-0-1 record. Several of my former players are playing for their college teams. 2 of my former players received full soccer scholarships.
I am a motivator who believes in the first rule of leadership - set the example. I can and will not tolerate poor leadership at any level.
Favorite quote: "As you think, so you become."
