I am from Baltimore, MD but I have lived in Chicago for more than 12 years and so I consider myself a Chicagoan. My role within the club is Head of Goalkeeping as well as leading up the College Player Pathway Program. I am also the Founder and Director of Drive Goalkeeping. I partnered with this club 8 years ago as I believed Chicago City was leading the way in innovation and collaboration within the industry. I was impressed with the support it provided for its players and coaches on and off the field as it matched up to my approach within the game also.

Prior to working with City, I was coaching full-time Division I soccer and wanted to pursue a career in youth development and so I launched my organization in 2013 with the goal of bringing high-level goalkeeper coaching to as many players as possible in the United States and beyond. 

I owe my career and passion for goalkeeping to my uncle who inspired me to play this game with confidence as well as my mentor in high school, Alan Kelly Sr - a legendary goalkeeper for the Republic of Ireland's National Team. I had the pleasure of working with Alan over several years and through his extensive knowledge and experience at the profesional game, he instilled a sense of hard work, humility, and a desire to share the love of goalkeeping to players of all ages and abilities.

When I am not on a soccer field I am in the kitchen cooking pasta or in the sand playing volleyball.
