Growing Soccer
on & off the Field

About Me

To sum me up quickly, I’m a multi-facted Soccer Professional.

My main motivation in life is to raise the standard of soccer on and off the field. My strengths include analyzing data, visual communication, and insight generation, among others.

I got here by having a wide range of experience in the soccer industry. I’ve worked as a coach in various clubs in Canada and Germany, a match analyst for TSN, various roles in club operations, creating a data collection system for a sports analytics company, Sportlogiq, and working with the Canadian Premier League (CPL) as an On-Field Performance and Recruitment Analyst. Currently, I’m training for my CSA ‘B’ License, doing a MSc in Business Analytics at the University of Stirling, and working in Data Visualization at Deloitte.

I am in a unique position to be able to discuss several facets of a soccer organization. I understand the business needs of an organization, the power of data to work with the analysts, and am soccer savvy enough to be able to talk tactics with coaches.

From there, I can distill info down to others in an easy-to-understand manner and bridge the "interpretation gap”.

I'm looking forward to raising the standard of soccer around the world. Reach out below
