Educator. Mentor. Motivator. A resource for everything soccer — and the humans who play it.
I played D1 soccer at Nebraska-Omaha and Drake University, then competed with the Des Moines Menace in USL League Two. I've coached at every level since — and won back-to-back national championships doing it.
But the résumé is just context. The real work is about development — not just of players, but of people. Every session, every conversation, every resource I put out is built around one idea.
"My goal is to always leave someone or something better than I found it."
Whether you're a parent trying to understand the college recruiting process, a coach looking to sharpen your sessions, or a player trying to find that next gear — this is the place for you.
Real coaching insight, delivered weekly. Tactical breakdowns, development philosophy, and honest takes on the game — from someone who's still in the trenches every week.
The recruiting process is confusing on purpose. I help players and families cut through the noise — from building a profile to making the right college decision.
Session plans, ebooks, and tools built from real ECNL environments. No filler. Ready-to-run content for coaches who want to level up what they put on the field.
Local sessions for youth players who want to develop the right way. Private 1:1 or small group — both built around what your player actually needs.
Most families go into college recruiting flying blind. The timelines are unclear, the communication rules are confusing, and the coaches on the other end are evaluating things parents don't even know matter.
I've been on both sides of this. I know what college coaches actually look for — and I know how to help your player put their best foot forward at every stage of the process.
Start a ConversationPrivate and small group sessions for youth players in the Des Moines area. Ages U8–U18. Whether your player is just getting serious or already competing at a high level, sessions are built around what they actually need — not a generic curriculum.
You're not getting an assistant or an intern. You're getting a D1 player, a two-time national champion coach, and someone who does this every day at the ECNL level.
