My life and career have been defined by a deep-seated need to build—whether it’s structural projects, language proficiency, or the character of young athletes through sport. For over a decade, I prioritized the independence of running my own coaching company to stay flexible for my children. Now that they are grown and starting their own adventures, I’ve intentionally closed that chapter to focus on what matters most: being surrounded by good people and a strong community.

I recently moved to Tacoma and have joined the Harbor Soccer Club in Gig Harbor. This move represents a shift in my priorities, moving away from the commercial side of the industry to focus on a family-centered environment that values excellence and integrity. Whether I'm on the pitch coaching, out cycling the PNW trails, or hands-on with a home remodel, my goal is to invest my time into meaningful work and lasting friendships.

I’m a veteran, an educator, and a craftsman, but most importantly, I am a neighbor and a peer looking to contribute to the community I now call home.
