I was born and raised in Dublin, Ireland. After leaving home at a young age to play collegiate soccer in William Carey University, Mississippi, this beautiful sport has provided me with some of the most memorable experiences that I want to be able to pass on to the next generation.
Through opportunities in New Orleans, Chicago, and London, I returned to Chicago in 2011 to take on the role of Director of Coaching with Chicago Lakefront Attack Soccer Club. In 2013 I was able to rebrand the club as it is today, Chicago City Soccer Club. I set out to create an organization that would do things the right way while always looking to create new and exciting opportunities for both players and coaches.
Over the last decade I have been part of many teams who have been able to create a unique club experience that brings communities throughout Chicagoland together. This has allowed us to become the first and only Illinois 5 Star Club in the City of Chicago and the first and only USL Academy program in the state of Illinois. Alongside the academy our newly launched USL W and USL 2 professional teams provide a true player pathway for our players and coaches.
As we continue to build up the professional side of the club, our goal is to provide a club for the people of Chicago who are part of the journey with us, hence the YOUR CITY - YOUR CLUB motto we have developed.
I look forward to continue with the growth of our game in and around our City, and I hope you and your family chose to be a part of it too.
In 2022 I went back to school for my masters in Sports Directorship with UCFB in London which has been an unbelievable experience thus far. I enjoy playing golf, cooking, yoga, snowboarding, traveling. and my team is Aston Villa because my Grandad played for them.
GO CITY!!!!
