Either the fish I caught was THIS BIG or this is how much I am enjoying life up here with @MarquetteWSOC. This is a special place. WE ARE MARQUETTE!

- Woke up this morning being the head coach of @MarquetteWSOC (so it wasn’t a fever dream)!!!! Had an unbelievable day on campus reppin’ @muathletics. Started with a @MarquetteMBB & @ShakaSmart practice (wow) and ended w/ team testing in sports performance (strong!). Good Day #1!
- Nearly 4.5 months into my new role with @MarquetteWSOC and I’m still continually blown away by the enthusiastic support, welcoming nature, & kindness of the people (players & parents) of this special program. Thank you for the housewarming gift MU parents. #WEARE
- BEST Father’s Day present EVER!!!! Good day to have a good day! @MarquetteWSOC
- After a PHENOMENAL day touring neighborhoods in Milwaukee then a long drive back to St. Louis w/ the family, we were greeted with this pulling into the driveway! Needless to say, even the neighbors are excited about @muathletics!
- Beautiful Day #2 up North! Sun was shining, slight breeze coming off Lake Michigan & a balmy high of 16! Most importantly though, I got to show off @MarquetteU & @MarquetteWSOC to the family! Thanks to @MUSpiritShop for helping outfit the crew. What a special day!
- I have loved every minute of my @MarquetteWSOC journey…. BUT, not being able to see my kids do what they love has been hard. And I wish I was there to give Parker the biggest hug ever because she just became a conference champion and ran her PR in the mile (5:10). #earned
00:00 - Whew! I am not sure what I have done to deserve this, but the past 9 days traveling around Italy w/ @MarquetteWSOC has been one of the most special experiences of my life. Thank you to those who made this trip possible. More than a Program, an Experience. #WeAreMarquette
- HAPPY 1st DAY of HIGH SCHOOL SOCCER IN MISSOURI! To all the HS coaches out there, thank you for all you do for our kids and good luck this spring! Like the Billiken in the photo, we will be out at the fields watching & supporting you guys! Roll Bills!
- Took advantage of a physical day off for @MarquetteWSOC & went to my favorite place in the world, North Beach in Port Washington, WI to swim & reset. I still can’t believe we live a 5-minute slow walk away from all this. Feeling very grateful today on my 45th Bday.
- Wishing my high school soccer coaching friends in MO, IL & KS a great 1st week of the season (particularly the STL crew)! While HS soccer continues to come under attack, please don’t lose faith in the transformative & developmental experiences you provide. We’ll see you soon!
- Not sure I’ve enjoyed my nightly walk with the dogs more than tonight. I am so proud to be a coach of @MarquetteWSOC BIG win tonight. Big-time ‘26 commitment yesterday. Awesome recruits & families on campus today. My good friend @kshields12 told me to enjoy the victories. Cheers!
- SNOW DAY! Not officially Wisconsinite yet, but we’re moving in that direction! Shoveling snow so the kids can go to school with a forecasted 4 inches. Would’ve been a national emergency in St. Louis. No one blinks an eye here, haha. It’s just different UP NORTH!
