I am a coach, researcher and perpetual student of the game. As a student-athlete, I played for and graduated from The College of New Jersey where I earned a Bachelor of Science (double majoring) in Psychology and Education with a subject matter specialization in Statistics of Behavioral Science. I am a certified mathematics educator with nearly ten years of teaching experience and a licensed soccer coach with almost twenty years of experience training athletes and teams. I hold a graduate degree in Statistics and Measurement from Rutgers University. My research aims to understand the psychological underpinnings and socio-cultural homologies of individuals, teams and local athletic communities within the larger global society of sport.
