Alex grew up in the Bay Area, and played club soccer for several different clubs, including Fremont FC, Ballistic United, Livermore FC and Mustang FC. Alex played collegiate soccer at Evergreen Junior College.

Alex was part of ODP as a player from ages 14 to 17. Alex’s favorite soccer memories are playing in Spain for several months as a tryout for the mini Barcelona teams. 

Alex’s favorite part of coaching is when a player learns something new and it clicks. Alex bleeds blue as a coach and has only coached for MVLA!

The coach who most inspired Alex was his Evergreen coach Joe Silvera, who was playing in their college practices at over 60 years old and still beating college players on the dribble. He inspired Alex to become a coach.

Alex has a number of favorite soccer teams: for England it’s Arsenal, for Germany it’s Borussia Dortmund, for Spain it’s Barcelona and for Italy its Juventus. Alex has a major in Kinesiology and a minor in Coaching from San Francisco State.
