RICK JACOBSEN
Board of Directors
I have been coaching with NASA for over 15 years, and have been active on the Board for most of the last 10 years. I am committed to NASA's mission of providing soccer opportunities to the widest possible range of youth players, in order to lay the groundwork for a lifelong participation in the sport.
President
DAVE CAMPBELL
I got involved with NASA when my two daughters started playing. Seeing my children’s joy playing made me realize soccer is truly a gift.
Vice President
JOHAN ANDERSSON
I have coached youth soccer in North Austin for over 15 years and served on the NASA Board since 2008. I grew up playing on the rock hard "soccer fields" of Dallas suburbs in the 1970s, coached by parents who had never seen an actual game.
Secretary
SHANE LEWIS
My daughter has played for NASA for several years and recently, they needed a coach for her team. I stepped up to coached her team and it was a great experience. I believe every kid deserves to play and NASA gives the opportunity.
Board Member
ERIKA GARCIA
I've coached both my son and daughter through many of years of NASA starting in 2008. I love soccer's recreational teamwork for kids of all ages and I am eager to help develop the NASA community in these interesting times.
Board Member
BRENNAN DELL
I have been coaching our sons' teams here with NASA for the past eight years. Our players have basically grown up on NASA fields together. When I am not on a field coaching, my main role is being an informal educator. For years I have enjoyed volunteering in the Austin community for various organizations, projects and youth programs.
