Coaching Experience and Accomplishments: I received my National C license in 1981 while attending the U or R.  I was on staff at the UR summer soccer camps during my playing years at UR.  After finishing my college playing career in 1984-85, I coached the Brockport Soccer Club’s Boys U-19 team.  During the academic year 1985-86, I was Willie Fitzpatrick’s assistant coach at SUNY Brockport for one season.  I had a long hiatus from coaching thereafter until 2000 when I began coaching youth soccer in Penfield.  I started assisting with U7 recreational program and then assisted with the Penfield Rangers boys U8 then U10 teams.

Playing Experience and Accomplishments: I played high school soccer at Brockport.  I played my college soccer at the U of R.  I played in the RDSL Premier Division and then first division with the Brockport Soccer Club throughout the early to mid 80s.  As a youth player, I played with the Rochester area and then NYS select teams.

Skills Important to Coaching: I am a physician trained in general internal medicine.  I am certified in both BLS and ACLS (advanced cardiac life support).

Coaching Philosophy: My particular interest is in teaching kids basic individual skills sets.  I believe that without maximizing these tools, ultimate success and enjoyment of the game will not follow as easily.  I believe that this has to be stressed early, but never neglected even at the older age levels.
