Our family joined NYS in Summer 2023 and I was elected to the board during Fall 2023. I grew up playing club soccer in Portland and was fortunate enough to play all the way into college at Oregon State University. Playing for a strong club was exceedingly valuable in providing me with the skills and experience to grow as a player, but also as a person. I joined the NYS board to help grow the club and provide players in our community with the opportunity to grow and play the beautiful game I love.

I am a winemaker in the Willamette Valley and am raising two kids, Matthew and Margaret with my wife, Aubrey. I am an avid runner and enjoy just about any outdoor adventure including skiing, camping, fly fishing, and foraging.
