Accomplishments
In 2018 I was asked to be the Head Coach for the Roxboro Community School middle school soccer team. The 2019-2020 season we won the first Conference Championship in school history. I was asked to take over Varsity soccer the next season to be a positive leader and help re-organize the program. Me and my assistant worked diligently for two seasons to get the team to where they are today by creating a positive vibe with the group of young men. In 2022 I found a much more experienced coach to take over the organization and hopefully this year we will have a shot at the first RCS High School Conference Championship.
