USL Pro Operations

I am originally from Zalipie, Poland and I began my journey with sports in 2014 as an intern at Northwestern University during the 2014 Wildcats football season as an Equipment Manager. The Following year I took on the role of game day operations intern for the Chicago Steel (USHL) hockey team as they began their inaugural season in Geneva, IL. Following the Steel, I moved on to Vivid Seats as a senior sales agent as well as at the Chicagoland Speedway. In 2017 I began a retail career in hockey for the largest U.S. retailer, Pure Hockey where I was a senior sales associate and supervisor. 

I began my time with Chicago City SC in 2022 during the inaugural USL 2 & USL W season working game day operations. At the conclusion of the season, I was offered the role of USL Operations with overseeing the business development of the Pro side of the club with responsibilities in revenue generation, corporate sponsorships, ticket sales, retail, fan engagement and building the CCSC supporters group.

My dream in sports has always been to contribute to the development of a new soccer club and implement my ideas. Chicago City presents an incredible opportunity to build a new pro club from the ground up. We have dedicated people, a unique vision and the right sports environment in Chicago to provide soccer fans an alternative club while introducing new fans to the beautiful game and its culture.

I moved to Chicago at the age of 6 and have lived in the city for 23 years. I grew up as a supporter of Manchester United but my favorite player was Polish captain Robert Lewandowski. In my spare time, I enjoy playing tennis, watching college football and lesser known sports like Motorcycle Speedway Racing and Ski Jumping as well as reading, watching movies and spending time with my family and friends.
