	Birth Place: Bangor, Wales	Professional Play: Semi-pro at Littlehampton, Pontypridd. Afan Lido
	Favorite Player/Team: Thierry Henry & Chelsea	Memorable Soccer Moment: Coaching a group of players from Div 4,3,2,1 and onto a State Championship. But the moment we secured P1 status. A four year goal. That was the sweetest. I was so proud of a group of young adults to have had a dream, a goal. To have committed to it, set sub-goals, and sacrificed to achieve each and every one of those sub-goals and goals. There are few better lessons to learn.
