I am one of the founders of Rise FC, I started my journey in 2019 when Rise started with the mission of building a club that everyone in it felt part of. With the goal of teaching kids, the fundamentals of the game and improving their IQ of the game all while making it challenging and fun.

Personally, I have grown up in the game since a young age and was very fortunate to get the opportunity to play at a high level abroad. Growing up I played for a club that was like a family, everyone pitching in to help and make sure the kids had the best experience. That was my mission and along with the help of all the coaches at Rise Fc and the families we started to build that environment again over here in Jupiter Florida.

Rise started with 4 teams, and I am so proud to say that we are at 11 today. With nearly 90% of players staying with the club every year. This is something we are very proud of. Over the last several years I have gone back to school to continue my education in soccer.

I have completed a 6-month Barcelona Course as well as completed my USSF C License. I sat on the JTAA Soccer board for 2 years prior to help founding Rise FC in 2019. During that time, I ran their rec program with over 1000 kids for several seasons and I created their Academy which helped Rec kids bridge the cap to travel. We had 400 kids in the program and transitioned 60 to travel. I was involved in the daily running of the Club on the Rec and Travel side. I learned a lot in those two years, but something was missing, and I Knew it was time to move on.

I have attended multiple Leadership courses as I believe it is very important to be able to lead and inspire the coaches and the Players. We wanted to create a different experience at Rise, so we started as a tournament club. Helps with scheduling for the families, Guarantees a certain number of games and more.

Today I am the DOC of Rise FC and I am proud to hold this position. I believe the Program is so important so I refuse to take a DOC wage and would rather see the Money put back into the program to give our kids the best technology, uniforms, equipment and provide Money for Scholarships for players families with hardships. Thanks to some great individuals who support Rise FC we are fortunate to provide kids with pathways to play travel sports.

I look forward to continuing this journey with the help of all our coaches and amazing families. #one club one family
