College Placement_Director
I have been involved in College Athletics for more than 30 years as a player and a coach. I have a very good understanding of NCAA, NAIA and Junior College rules and regulations. Recruiting locally and internationally has always been one of my primary tasks at all the colleges that I have been to. I have had 14 players who went on to play in MLS and 9 who played for their national teams (United States, Bolivia, Haiti, Jamaica, Peru and Venezuela). I am here to educate, help and assist Weston FC players who wish to continue playing at the collegiate level.
