MIFC Board of Directors
Greg has two boys playing soccer, and he played youth, high school, college and in a men's league. He has "retired" from playing but enjoys watching and coaching. He volunteers for the Club because he feels that soccer has given him so much, including lifelong friendships, and he wants to model that for his own boys. He believes it doesn't matter what level you play as long as you have fun.
Colin Rigby
VP of Player & Coach Development

Colin grew up playing soccer on Mercer Island before playing in college at University of Denver and SPU. He was drafted by the Timbers, played for the Sounders and had some small stints in Europe. Colin coached MIHS from 2011-2018. He has a great affinity for soccer on Mercer Island, despite living in West Seattle with his wife, Sara and child Greyson. He is excited to work with the board, coaches, players and families on and off the field.
Tej P. S. Sood
VP of Select Soccer
[email protected]
Football has been a mainstay throughout Tej's life - he believes it to be the universal language that brings people together. Tej moved to Mercer Island from London in 2018 and within days he found his children at IMS taking part in an informal "try out" with MI stalwart Colin Rigby. Since then, Tej has become a fan of MIFC's coaching program, which has been designed to bring out the best from players across all age groups and of all standards, ranging from those who want to compete at the highest level to those who want to play for fun. He supports MIFC's commitment to being a club that fosters an exciting brand of possession football and that strives to be accessible to youth from all backgrounds. Like his "local team" AFC Wimbledon, Tej is pleased to see that MIFC often punches above its weight!
