My Story
Built on
the pitch.
I didn't just play the game — I lived it. From youth academies to a professional contract abroad, conference titles, and national finals, every rep shaped who I am today.
I didn't just play the game — I lived it. From youth academies to a professional contract abroad, conference titles, and national finals, every rep shaped who I am today.
I grew up competing. I came up through Virginia Legacy Soccer Club from 2012 to 2017, where I won Player of the Year in 2017 — the moment that confirmed this was more than a hobby. From youth academies in Virginia to high school varsity, I was always chasing the next level.
In 2017 I earned a Division 3 scholarship to Christopher Newport University, where I led my team as captain and made the NCAA Tournament in 2019. I didn't stop there. I transferred to Longwood University and earned a full Division 1 scholarship — one of the most competitive levels of college soccer in the country. The jump was steep, but I embraced it. That's always been my approach: seek the harder path, because that's where the growth is.
"I was built on discipline. The pitch doesn't lie — and neither does a balance sheet."
After college I pursued professional soccer with everything I had. I earned a professional trial with New York City FC 2 in MLS Next Pro in 2022 — one of the most competitive development leagues in the country. From there I played USL2 with Reading United and Peoria City, and competed with Virginia Revolution in the UPSL through 2024 and 2025.
The 2024 season with Peoria City was a statement year. We won the Central Conference Championship and reached the USL2 National Finals. I know what it takes to win — not just to compete, but to win. That's a different mentality. It's built in the work nobody sees, and it's what I bring to everything I do now.
I also signed a professional contract with Taiwan Vikings FC, competing internationally. And in 2026 I had the opportunity to train with OD Ovarense in Portugal's Liga X — European-level professional football. Two continents. The game took me far. The lessons came back with me.
While competing professionally, I was also coaching. I served as Assistant Men's Soccer Coach at Shenandoah University (Division 3), where I helped recruit, develop, and manage collegiate athletes. I organized sold-out talent identification clinics and helped grow the program's visibility.
From there I stepped into the role of Academy Select Manager at Virginia Revolution SC — leading coaching staff, designing curriculum for U7–U9 players, managing budgets, and overseeing full program operations. I hold a UEFA B License through the Welsh Federation, giving me internationally recognized coaching credentials.
Today I run private coaching sessions and youth development programs in the DMV area. Every session carries what I earned on the field.
In 2024 I founded Wilson Vending — a self-funded vending machine business built from zero while working full time. No investors. No shortcuts. Just the same discipline the game taught me applied to building a business.
I'm documenting everything publicly. The wins, the numbers, the mistakes. Because the most valuable thing I can offer isn't just coaching a player — it's showing people what it actually looks like to build something real.

I've never been the most talented person anywhere I've been. But I've always been willing to outwork everyone else. That's the edge that translates from the pitch to business.
Championships aren't won on game day. They're won in the months of preparation nobody sees. Building a business is no different. Trust the daily reps.
Transparency builds trust. I share the real numbers, real challenges, and real lessons — because that's what I would have wanted when I was starting out.
Whether coaching a 10-year-old or running a business, my focus is on character and mindset first. Skills follow. Confidence is the foundation.
Consistency beats talent over time. The players and entrepreneurs who win are the ones who show up when it's inconvenient. That's it.
I don't sugarcoat things. In coaching or in business content, I tell you what's real — not what's comfortable or impressive. That's the only way to actually help people.
