Sam Houston Soccer Club as head coach to the Renegades, a volunteer position he would hold for more than ten years.His passion and enthusiasm for the game led him to a coaching position with the Lions Soccer Club in 1998, where he led two teams to compete in Agropoli, Italy.  In 1999, he branched out to create the San Antonio Elite Soccer Club, where he served as the director and oversaw the expansion of the program.
