Continuing his education in 2015, he went to North Carolina to take his US Youth Futsal – Level 3 futsal coaching License with the former coach of The United States Futsal National Team, Keith Tozer. Being a coach, referee and assignor was not enough for him, so in 2015 he became a Soccer Referee Instructor as well to keep imparting his knowledge and experience with other referees, coaches and players.
