I started playing soccer when I was 4 years old for local recreational soccer programs, and eventually joined the American Eagles/DFW Tornados soccer club when I was 15 years old. I also played soccer for Central High School in the Keller School District. I later went on to play a year of college soccer at Harding University before transferring to the University of North Texas.

I began coaching when I was 16 years old. I volunteered for the Eagle Mountain Soccer Association, and coached there till I graduated High School. While I was attending Harding University I was a volunteer coach for Searcy Youth Soccer Association. After transferring to the University of North Texas, I returned to volunteer coaching with EMSA, and pursued my coaching Licenses. I have recently acquired my USSF National ‘D’ License.
