I became the new Executive Director of Colorado United on June 1, 2023. I have a long history in youth soccer at all levels of the game in the Midwest, the Northeast, and in my native Denmark. I have head-coached youth, high school, State ODP, Region II ODP, National ODP, college, and semi-pro programs, as well as coached & scouted with the U.S. girl's national teams. I ran the U.S. Soccer National Training Center for Illinois & Wisconsin in 2016 & 2017.

I am the Head of Coaching-Competitive. I work alongside our Competitive Directors of Coaching to ensure we provide the best soccer opportunities for our players and coaches to help develop their skills, passion and love for the game of soccer. I am very fortunate that soccer has provided me with the opportunity to work within the sport that I love.
I have held various roles in my 19 years with Colorado United. My love for soccer stems from my childhood growing up in Wales, UK. I am “still” a passionate Manchester United fan!

When I’m away from soccer, I enjoy spending time with my Fiancée, friends, family and specially our furry friends, Willie (kitty) and Checa (doggie). I like going to the mountains for hikes, adventures, and some camping. I enjoy cooking and doing small handyman projects. My favorite soccer team is Real Madrid, and my all-time favorite player is Raul (he played in the early 2000s for Madrid). I appreciate all kinds of cultural foods, Mexican food being my favorite. I’m an avid coffee fan.
