He is actively involved in all aspects of the coaching process with duties that include everything from training to alumni relations and recruiting.

While at Philadelphia, Wilson led the Rams to the program's first postseason appearance since 1989 in 2005, earning a berth in the Atlantic Soccer Conference Tournament. He also established a commitment to academic excellence at Philadelphia as his players ranked in the top 80% in the country in Academic Progress Rate, Eligibility/Graduation and Retention according to the NCAA Division I Committee on Academic Performance.

Prior to taking the head-coaching job at Philadelphia University, Wilson coached at the University of Pennsylvania from 2002-03.

Before that, Wilson spent eight successful seasons as the head coach for the FC Delco Soccer Club, where he won the 1996, 1998, and 2000 USYSA Pennsylvania State Cup.

In addition to being an extremely qualified coach, Wilson also competed at the top levels as a player. A first team all-league performer at the Philadelphia College of Textiles and Science from 1990-93, he went on to play professionally with the USISL's Philadelphia Freedom from 1994-96.
