Born and raised in Northeast Philadelphia, but have a Brazilian background.  Product of Archbishop Ryan High High School. Went to Holy Family University/Division II, where I played 4 years as a goalkeeper. Nationally ranked my junior year.  My coaching career began a little over 5 years ago where I started at the developmental l/High school level. I've been apart of the Rosemont staff going on 2 years now and I also am fortunate enough to coach the current #1 club team in the nation, at the 2003 age group.
