Why Phoenix FC? (What brought you here, what are your passions for the club)

After 17 years with Vancouver Whitecaps, I sensed something special is brewing in Sherwood Park: 1) A player centered philosophy, 2) 4 Pillars of coaching: Hard Work, Team Spirit, Positive coaching, Learning & improving as the main principles guiding us forward. I like to be part of that and contribute to it. Spreading JOY, that's what sports is supposed to be about!
