      I was born in Modesto, California, yet my upbringing was far from stationary, spanning across various cities in the state. From Modesto to Ceres, Turlock to Bakersfield, Fresno to Santa Maria, and finally settling in Sacramento, relocation was a common theme in my family's life. Amidst the ever-changing scenery, one constant remained: fútbol. Since the age of 4 and playing to this day, the beautiful game has been my steadfast companion, weaving its way into every place I've called home. I strive to share the experience and life skills/lessons I've learned thus far due to this beautiful sport. Beyond the soccer field, my passion extends to the great outdoors, particularly the mountains, where I find solace in activities like hiking, bouldering, mountain biking, and trail running. My aspiration is to be an asset to this organization's mission of expanding the reach of soccer, and growing the game. I look forward to helping our members and getting their players on that pitch!

      I was born in Lodi, CA and grew up in Davis, CA. I'm a former high school athlete in football and baseball. My love for soccer grew after high school. I began watching the game religiously and am a big fan of the English Premier League and Manchester United in particular. I taught myself various ball skills and learned how to juggle. I started playing in amateur men's leagues around the Sacramento and San Diego area. I am a USSF Grassroots licensed coach currently working on my D License. Currently, I coach at the Grassroots level for Davis Legacy Soccer Club in Davis, CA. After graduating from Sac State in 2022, I have continued learning more about the beautiful game as it is always my aim to grow within the sport.

      Hi, I am Amin! I was born in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, where the main sports were soccer or cricket. I grew up listening to soccer on the radio, where two rival teams, Simba FC and Yanga FC, competed, and after the games, there were either crazy parties or fights. I never played sports, but I was always a team organizer and behind-the-scenes guy from a young age. I migrated to the United States in 1993, and the Bay Area became my home. As my kids grew up and started playing soccer, I was back in soccer as a team manager and support for the coaches. My daughters played recreational and competitive soccer until they were in high school. I have worked in a leadership role for over 20 years. I am currently taking classes at San Jose State University to complete my bachelor's degree in business administration with a concentration in accounting. I have served multiple non-profits in Milpitas in various roles for the last 10 years. My goal is to support leagues in District 2 and learn new skills.

      Favorite team: FC Milpitas Wildcats

      Hi I'm Jazzy! I was born and raised in Elk Grove, CA. Growing up, I played multiple sports...soccer, basketball, track & field, and more. But I fell in love with soccer immediately and it was always my favorite. I've made so many lifelong friends through soccer. I'm a huge follower of the USWNT, NWSL, women's soccer, and sports in general. I graduated with my degree from the University of Hawaii in 2022 and started pursuing a career in sports shortly after graduation. I am now getting my Master's in Sports Management through Georgetown University. Youth soccer is my roots and I want to help grow the game in any way I can. :)

      I began when my son played as a youth and ran the local school soccer club.  I became involved then as a board member of the Fresno Junior Soccer League, then was elected District Commissioner to the CYSA Board of Directors. I held that position for 20+ years.  After retiring from that and when this part-time position became available again in our District Office, I decided to take it and have been here ever since.

      Having been born in the North Bay, I am excited to reconnect with the Northern California Soccer Community. My love for the game started when I was too young to play club, but was allowed to practice with my older brother. Then, after a few years of playing, I watched my first World Cup on a UHF channel in Spanish; Mexico '86! This sealed the deal for my love of “the beautiful game.” I have had the privilege of playing at levels that took me across the pond and all over the U.S. When my playing days were coming to an end, I focused my passion on the coaching and business sides. I have my B license, & have been fortunate enough to work with many great people and companies all in the pursuit of growing our sport.
