Cameron has been the Tormenta FC Head Coach and Technical Director with Tormenta FC since 2020 and also served as the Head Coach for Tormenta FC 2 in USL League Two from 2019-2020.
“2022 gave our club and fan base a taste of what is achievable when we form a special relationship,” Cameron commented. “My family and the Tormenta coaching staff I get to work with believe more is possible in 2023.
