Work Experience
In addition to extensive work coaching soccer at all ages and a variety of levels, I have
the priceless experience of crafting and implementing a program aimed at tackling the
lack of access to soccer for marginalized populations. I am the Founder & Director of
THE RISING POINT, LLC, which is an organization that I started in Seattle, WA for the
purpose of using soccer to develop quality people and build community. By developing
partnerships with schools in predominantly underserved and disadvantaged areas, we use
the game to provide an exceptional and accessible learning environment through athletic
engagement, academic support, and peer mentorship. At the Rising Point, we play to be
the authors of our story. We play to discover our collective excellence. We play to build
community. For our children and for a better world, we reach higher.
