Kicking off Planning for the 2026 FIFA World Cup

From the very beginning, the beautiful game had a hold on me. Like many Americans I started playing at an early age. My journey playing club, league select, Olympic Development, D-1 college, USL pro and coaching at camps around the country and the D-1 college level gave me a front row seat and a small stake in the growth of American soccer. 

When my playing and coaching career took a backseat to my journey in sports marketing and hospitality, clients and colleagues alike began to lean on my soccer knowledge around the World Cup and other major domestic and international competitions. While I was a college kid in the stands for the US hosted 1994 World Cup, Joanna and I were on-site helping corporate clients execute programming for the 2006 World Cup in Germany, 2010 World Cup in South Africa and the 2014 World Cup in Brazil among other international competitions. 

Whether you’re a huge soccer fan excited about the upcoming World Cup and want to talk about the game or looking for insight, advice or creative ideas on how to execute around the World Cup coming to the US next summer, we'd like to hear from you, learn about your soccer journey and/or share our team's accumulated knowledge about the beautiful game.

One year until World Cup 2026 kicks off!
