Soccer has been a lifelong passion that has shaped who I am both on and off the field. Born on July 2, 1992, in a small town in Moldova, I grew up playing the game at the amateur level and quickly developed a deep love and respect for the sport. From those early days kicking a ball around with friends to coaching young players today, soccer has always been a constant part of my life and identity.

In 2014, I moved to the United States, where my journey continued both personally and professionally. In 2017, I became a proud father to a son who, just a few years later, began showing his own love for soccer — inspiring me even more to share my knowledge and enthusiasm for the sport.

My coaching career officially began in 2022 with Cleveland Select Soccer Club, where I had the opportunity to work with young players and help them develop their skills and confidence on the field. In 2024, I took on the role of U8 Head Coach for Solon United Soccer Club, further expanding my experience coaching children of different ages and ability levels.

With over three years of coaching experience, I strive to create a positive, educational, and fun environment for my players — one where teamwork, discipline, and love for the game come first.
