Player

Szczepanski attended the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, playing on the men's soccer team from 1985 to 1988.[1] In 2001, he completed his coursework for a bachelor's degree in community education and policy. In 1989, Szczepanski turned professional with the Milwaukee Wave of the American Indoor Soccer Association after the Wave selected him in the first round (seventh overall) of the AISA amateur draft. In December 1992, the Wave traded Szczepanski to the Canton Invaders for Fahmi El-Shami after Szczepanski did not appear for the Wave that season.[2] However, Szczepanski did not play for the Invaders that season either. In 1994, he moved to the Chicago Power of the National Professional Soccer League for one season.[3] In 1995, Szczepanski joined the Milwaukee Rampage of the USISL Pro League. In February 2000, Szczepanski retired from professional soccer after failing to come to a contract agreement with the Rampage.[4] However, he continued to play, joining the amateur Milwaukee Bavarians that spring.[5]
