Coaching Experience:
I started coaching in 1991 with OCU. They were a bronze team and ended up playing Premier in 1994-95 and 1995-96. We won the U-19 State Cup in 1996.
I then coached a U-15 silver team from Long Beach United and took them to the National Cup semi final in 1998-99 and got them promoted to Premier the following year.
In 2000 I left club soccer to coach my own kids in AYSO. I coached several teams and All Star teams reaching the Sectional finals as regional champions.
I returned to club soccer in 2005 with an AYSO Plus team. I stopped coaching them in 2007-08 after finishing second in the Silver division. Most of the players went on to play at Silver Elite and Gold level.
