Notability tagged for over 3 years.

I found this article published by PRO which is about him, however, this is not an independent source (WP:IS) as it is the organisation that he is currently in charge of that published the article. I also am of the opinion that the Illinois State Soccer Award is not enough for WP:ANYBIO. He is mentioned once in this Toronto Sun piece. Aside from that, I could find barely anything on him apart from database profile pages and being listed at the bottom of a match report as the assistant referee or referee. I can't find much in the way of WP:SIGCOV from an independent and reliable source. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 11:14, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
