I have been instructing and coaching for the YMCA for the past five years and teaching foot skills for the Westside Stars Premier Club for the past year. I started to work as an indoor and outdoor instructor, coach and referee for the Lakewood Board of Recreation in 1981 until 1984 when I directed the soccer program for the city of Lakewood. Approximately one year later in 1985, I helped launch the Lakewood Soccer Association, then I worked as a staff coach for the Cleveland Force {MISL} for about two years with Al Reynolds; one of the best coaches of foot skills in the country.

I started my playing career in 1978 playing recreation soccer for Lakewood behind Horace Mann Middle School on a gravel field playing goalie. I then played for CMAC, a Hungarian Premier Club. Then, I received my coaching license for soccer. At the age of sixteen, I was selected to participate in the Joe Machnik’s No. 1 Soccer Camp. I played soccer and lettered for Lakewood High, played for the Front Line Select Club, the Olympic Club in the Majors Division and Cuyahoga Community College where I was voted First Team Regional. I have played uncountable games of soccer with all kinds of teams, nationalities, and skill levels. I have played in over 30 championship games.

I look forward to working with your child; I will help them gain an edge. It is important that your child can make it to the practices. Transportation assistance is always greatly appreciated - please car pool.
