Cieplik first served as the head coach of the men’s soccer team in 1970, before accepting the position as Athletic Director in June of 1999. He is scheduled to retire later this year.

Coach Cieplik’s contributions to the Coast Guard influenced more than four decades of cadets that have gone on to become officers in the Coast Guard.
