I Began my football journey in the elite youth academies of Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, where I developed as a player before launching a professional career that spanned Spain and Hong Kong. Following my retirement in 2012, I transitioned seamlessly into coaching, driven by a passion for player development and tactical excellence.
In the years since, I have held coaching and leadership roles across the United States and Asia, including stints at Phoenix Rising FC (USL Championship), Albion San Diego, and Irvine Zeta. I hold a UEFA Pro License and bring a global perspective to every team I lead, blending European methodology with international experience.
In 2025, I came back to Chula Vista FC as Technical Director, overseeing player development, coaching education, and the club’s long-term sporting strategy. My impact has been immediate strengthening the club’s competitive structure while emphasizing individual player growth.
With a sharp tactical mind, a proven ability to elevate talent, and a deep commitment to the Chula Vista community, I continue to drive the club forward while helping players reach collegiate and professional pathways both domestically and abroad.
