Peak FC Director of Coaching

Coach Z grew up in Bedford, Texas. At age 6, he began playing parks and rec soccer and later played club soccer.  He went on to play soccer in high school.  Coach Z joined the US Army immediately following high school graduation.  While in the Army, he attended courses such as Primary Leadership Development, Advanced Leadership Development and US Army Recruiting school.  In 2009, Coach Z began his coaching career in Las Vegas, NV as a strength and conditioning coach for FC Eliminators.  Following that position, he built a new soccer program from the ground up at the then recently established Somerset Losee Charter School in North Las Vegas. 

Coach Z and his family moved to Bayfield, CO in 2015.  There was not an open soccer position at Bayfield High School at that time, so he helped coach high school wrestling and cross country.  In 2016, Coach Z was hired as the Bayfield High School Boy Soccer Head Coach.  Fall 2024 will be his 9th year with the program.  During his first 8 years, he was awarded Intermountain League Coach of the Year in 4 different seasons and turned a winless program into a respected program with over 90% of players actively playing club soccer, with the New Mexico Rapids, in their off-season.       

Coach Z obtained his C-License in November 2023 and still pursues opportunities to increase his knowledge of soccer by attending coaching symposiums, high school coach clinics, and attending various soccer conferences.  Over the past 15 years, Coach Z has impacted many coaches and players, and looks forward to sharing his leadership and soccer knowledge with Peak FC.
