Meet Our Coaches

Competitive soccer has been a part of my life for most of my life, both as a player and now as a coach. I began coaching at the high school level in 2018, and it didn’t take long for me to realize how passionate I was about player development and helping young athletes grow through the game.

As I became more involved in coaching, I saw an opportunity to bring competitive, quality soccer closer to home for players and families in our community. That vision led me to create Prineville Premier Soccer Club, a local program built to provide players with high-quality coaching, meaningful competition, and a pathway to continue developing without the need for families to constantly travel outside of our area.

My goal is to continue building a strong soccer culture in Prineville while helping players become not only better soccer players, but also confident, disciplined, hardworking, and team-oriented young people.

I’m incredibly proud of how far our club has come and excited about what we are building for the future of soccer in our community.

Started playing rec soccer at the age of 6. At the age of 8 started playing for Club Deportivo Juca in Guatemala. As a youngster, I started playing as a center back but as I grew I adjusted to play Center Mid then moved to play left wing. Moving to the United States, I played for David Douglas high school helping them go to playoffs in 2008. I also took health and soccer fundamental classes in Mount Hood community college. After college I keep playing rec soccer in the Portland River Plate league helping the team win back to back titles in 2009 and 2010.

After the years I kept in shape by playing indoor soccer in the Bladium league in Alameda California  clinched a title in 2015.

I strive to be the coach that young athletes look up to—knowing they will be supported, but also pushed to reach their full potential.
