Anderson also compiled an accomplished record as an assistant coach, highlighted by back-to-back Division II national championships with Southern Connecticut in 1998 and 1999. He also served as an assistant at Columbia and Boston College. While at BC, Anderson was named to College Soccer News' Top 20 Assistant Coaches list and helped the Eagles capture their first ACC regular-season and tournament titles in school history, along with the program’s first No. 1 overall NCAA Tournament seed.
As a student-athlete at Southern Connecticut, Anderson earned First-Team All-America honors and helped the program capture the 1992 national championship. Following his collegiate career, he played professionally for the Long Island Rough Riders, Minnesota Thunder, Colorado Rapids, Tampa Bay Mutiny and Charleston Battery. Anderson won a USISL national championship in 1995, was named to the USL Best XI in 1997 and was selected No. 1 overall in the 1998 MLS Supplemental Draft by the Colorado Rapids. He concluded his playing career with league championships at multiple stops.
Anderson and his wife, Sara, have two daughters, Lennon and Harper.
