Pete grew up playing soccer in downtown Baltimore during what some might call the āgolden ageā of Baltimore soccer when Baltimore was a hub for some of the greatest American players to ever play the game! He was one of several players from this Baltimore generation who went on to play professionally. After his playing career he went straight into coaching, first at Essex Community College and then UMBC where he has been coaching for 26 years, recently taking the team to the NCAA Division 1 Final Four in 2014.
