Varsity Head Coach
I am a Buffalo High School and St. John's University grad. I started coaching the JV boys tennis and soccer teams at BHS in 2018. In 2023 I took over as the V head coach for boys tennis and in 2024 I took over as the V head coach for boys soccer. I have the privilege of working with an exceptional coaching staff and the wonderful opportunity to invest in the players I coach. I am extremely grateful for the chance to work with these individuals. Additionally, I coach boys soccer with Legacy FC.
Coaching Purpose Statement:
To build meaningful relationships with and between athletes, while teaching them to GLIDE (Grace, Love, Integrity, Dignity, Effort) in sports, life and their world around them, founded on my relationship with Jesus Christ who taught me how to love first.
Varsity Assistant Coach
I am from the small farm town of Petersburg, MI. After graduating from Summerfield high school, I went on to get degrees from Michigan State University and the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
I started coaching the BHS boys 9A team in 2022, coached the JV team the following year, and am currently the Varsity Assistant Coach. I also work as an English teacher at the high school.
I’m lucky to have the opportunity to bring my experience to the soccer program at Buffalo. I’m thankful to work with these dedicated student-athletes and will give my all to help this team and these individuals meet their goals.
My previous soccer coaching experience includes:
Kodiak High School, Kodiak, AK (Girls Varsity)
Tonka United (U-10 & U-12 Boys)
Eden Prairie High School (Girls 9A)
JV Coach
I am a proud graduate of Buffalo High School, where I played soccer throughout my high school years before enlisting in the military. After completing my service, I returned to Buffalo and began coaching soccer at the high school level. I later moved to Central Minnesota, where my wife Katelyn and I started our family. We now have two wonderful children, Luke and Kaylee, and live on a small hobby farm just outside of town.
Over the past 10 years, I’ve had the privilege of coaching both boys' and girls' soccer with Legacy FC, and I’m excited to once again be part of the coaching staff here at Buffalo High School. I’m passionate about helping student-athletes grow not only in their skills on the field but also in their character off the field. I look forward to working with our players and encouraging them to bring, and be, their best selves every day.
BCMS Boys Coach and BHS Assistant Coach
I began coaching soccer in 2011 with our Special Needs Soccer Program, where I proudly served for eight years. Four years ago, I took on the role of coaching the BCMS Boys Soccer Team, and more recently, I’ve been involved with helping the High School Boys Soccer program for the past year. Coaching has truly become a passion of mine—I love the opportunity to mentor young athletes, watch them grow, and share my love for the game.
