All of ACC's Recruiting Directors are former NCAA college coaches, Olympic coaches or award winning educators.

RICK PAINE
Rick is the co-founder and president of American College Connection and also holds the title of Director of Swimming. He has coached club swimming for 28 years and has served as an Associate Head Coach and Recruiting Coordinator for 17 years at a major Division I university. He most recently served as one of the Olympic Head Coaches for the Austrian Olympic Team in 2000.
DAN SENSTOCK
Dan is a national distinguished educator in video technology as well as a former high school football, basketball and track coach. His expertise in education and his love for students keep ACC focused on helping athletes find the right collegiate fit and continue to stay focused on obtaining their degrees. As a 5'9" senior, who happened to be a 6'7" high jumper, he is a testiment to why ACC works when helping athletes get noticed. "When I graduated from high school many years ago, ACC didn't exist and I received absolutely no college looks to compete. I know if I had ACC on my side, I wouldn't have had to pay for college out of my own pocket and could have competed in the sports I love."
CHARLENE JOHNSON-TAGALOA
When it comes to college and olympic volleyball, Charlene Johnson-Tagaloa is a name that turns heads. As a very recent assistant coach at the University of Nebraska, Charlene helped to guide the huskers to the 2006 National Championship. Because of Charlene's love for the game and her desire to help younger athletes, she has recently been inducted into the 2006 BYU Hall of Fame and will continue to treasure her experience playing on the 2000 Olympic team. When Charlene recommends an athlete from ACC to college coaches, her background and knowledge of the game makes college coaches stop and listen.
KELLY KENNEDY
With the help of American College Connection, our director of Womens Basketball, Kelly can separate you from the crowd. She has coached at the college level for 13 years, 12 in Division I and 4 as a head coach. Kelly has 5 NCAA appearances and 2 sweet sixteens.

JAY KIRKPATRICK
