Texas-raised and Austin-made, David Lozano is a true Texan with a deep-rooted passion for the environment in which he grew up. His personal and professional journey has been shaped by a lifelong engagement with sports, drawing lessons and inspiration from a variety of coaches and athletic experiences. From 1997 to 2005, David played for the ’87 Austin Flyers, a nationally ranked top-25 team for four consecutive years. Competing in one of the most demanding and competitive sports regions in the country, he developed a strong foundation built on discipline, patience, self-awareness, and a blue-collar work ethic—principles he now strives to instill in the athletes he coaches.

David cites Bobby Murphy—current assistant coach and academy technical coordinator at Orlando City—as his greatest coaching influence, whose mentorship helped guide him toward a career in coaching.

David began his coaching journey in 2010 with Lonestar Soccer Club in Austin, TX, where he worked until 2017. He has proudly been a member of Eastside FC for the past two years, contributing to both boys' and girls' programs across multiple competitive levels. His commitment to player development has led to the advancement of many players to higher levels of competition. Notably, in 2011 he led the LSC 02G White B team to a South Texas State Championship, and in 2017 guided the LSC 05B Black STH team to a finalist finish. David currently holds both U.S. Soccer’s National ‘B’ and Youth Licenses.

Outside of soccer, David remains active across various sports and hobbies. He enjoys basketball, golf, and handball—earning a national championship in 2007 and finishing as runner-up in 2010. He’s also an avid gamer, having won the Blockbuster State Championship in 1994 and placing 33rd nationally. A dedicated fan of collegiate and professional sports, David supports the Wisconsin Badgers, Oklahoma Sooners, Texas A&M, and Alabama in college athletics; the Patriots and Saints in the NFL; the Lakers and Spurs in the NBA; the White Sox in MLB; and the Blackhawks and Lightning in the NHL. Since relocating to Seattle, he has taken up snowboarding and, over the past six years, has become increasingly involved in distance running—achieving a personal best marathon time of 3:05:09 in Phoenix.
