Involvement with Real Colorado and any other soccer organizations?

Why do you want to serve as a director?

Serving as a director for Real Colorado would be a privilege.  Giving back to the game and community that has provided me so much is the least I can do.  The life skills and experiences I gained while playing youth soccer translated to who I am today.  With three daughters, all playing soccer at Real, I hope to be a small part of the club environment that will benefit players and members as they grow in life and the game.

What do I expect to contribute to Real Colorado is elected to the board of directors?

The landscape for youth soccer, and youth sports in general, is ever changing.  I expect to be a team member who contributes ideas and resources for club and player growth, while supporting opportunities for players to take soccer, and its life-lessons and camaraderie, as far as they want.
