Eli’s connection to Nordic Soccer Club runs deep. Having spent over a decade on the pitch wearing the Nordic uniform as a youth player, he experienced firsthand the player-first pathway, technical discipline, and strong club culture that define the organization. Now in his sixth year on the Nordic coaching staff, Eli brings that home-grown perspective back to the pitch, dedicated to instilling the same strong fundamentals, sportsmanship, and passion for the game that shaped his own soccer journey. We at Nordic Soccer are honored to have him as part of the staff to help shape the next generation of soccer players in our area.

Eli plays a central role in cultivating our youngest talent, serving as the Head Coach for the U9 and U10 Boys teams while leading the direction of our U8 Academy. His focus at these foundational age groups centers on developing technical fluidity, building decision-making confidence under pressure, and fostering a genuine love for the game.

Eli’s impact on the local soccer landscape extends beyond Nordic. As an Assistant Coach for the Essex High School boys' soccer program, he helps bridge the gap between youth club development and competitive high school play, mentoring athletes through key transitions in their athletic careers.

Off the pitch, Eli is a sophomore at the University of Vermont pursuing a degree in Statistics. His academic background brings a unique, modern edge to his coaching—applying structured, analytical thinking to tactical organization, training design, and individual player development.
