WestConn has been ranked nationally and in its region several times since Harrison took over the program.

Prior to WestConn, Harrison coached Brookfield High School boys' soccer, Ridgefield High School girls soccer and had a stint as a volunteer assistant for Central Connecticut State University's men's soccer.  

Aside from his responsibilities at WestConn, he is currently the Director/Ambassador for the A.C. Connecticut club program and has served as the head coach for the A.C. Connecticut U.S.L Team and W-League Team.
