Bio
Born and raised in the southwest suburbs of Chicago, Dylan honed his soccer skills playing for top clubs such as Chicago Inter, Chicago Magic, and Cruzeiro Chicago Academy. At the U16 level, he expanded his training internationally, working with youth academies in Croatia and Brazil. During his high school career at Carl Sandburg, he played varsity soccer for three out of four years and was recognized as both all-conference and all-sectional. After high school, Dylan spent five years playing at Florida Southern College, an NCAA Division II school in the Sunshine State Conference. Alongside his athletic pursuits, he earned a bachelor’s degree in sports business management and a master’s degree in business administration at FSC. We are excited to have Dylan join the Celtics Coaching Team, where he will contribute to offering local players a variety of teams, levels, and pathways in soccer.
