Here is a little of my background for you: I'm 23 years of age and a native on the DFW area. I have been playing the game of soccer for about 18 years, with 8 years in recreational and 6 years in competitive with the Kings '86. I was 3 year varsity player and 2 year captain for Lake Dallas High School. I continued to play for 2 years into college at Tyler Junior College, where I played goalkeeper. I am a graduate of West Texas A&M with a bachelors in Mass Communication.
 
I have previously coached a U16 Boys Team (Wildcats) out of Tyler and have helped with the Lake Dallas High School Varsity Team. Currently I'm also assisting with the '02 Boys Academy team.
 
My coaching style is open but demanding. I like to get things done and accomplished but at the same time have fun, after all this is a game. I will bring new ideas that I think will help get a point across to the players so they may be successful. I like the example of Jimmy Johnson(former Dallas Cowboys Head Coach), where no matter who you were, you're never bigger than the team. That is how I feel, everyone is equal on this team. Yes, some players are more skilled in certain areas than others but that doesn't mean they are immune to being in trouble or sitting on the sidelines.
