After numerous injuries and obtaining his FA coaching license he returned to California. Between 1993-2013 he coached and directed at some of the biggest clubs on the West Coast (California Flyers, Southbay, Force, MVSC, Golden State). In 2006 he went to Seoul Korea to run clinics for Wow sports Soccer. In 2013, he moved to DFW to raise a family with his wife Amanda and their two young children Autumn and Ayden.
