I’m Titus Perez, from the south side of Chicago. I attended Marshall high school and later received my bachelors degree in journalism and media from Western Illinois University. At Western I also received my masters in sports management. I have a 12 year old daughter and 10 year old son. I’ve played football my entire life, up until college, where I successfully walked on before ending my playing career shortly after. When I’m not coaching, I work as a PE teacher and athletic director at a middle school on Chicago’s east side (Great Lakes Academy).

Fun fact: I am 1 of my mothers 12 kids (10 boys, 2 girls)

I am a proud graduate of Lane Tech, class of 1984, where I played varsity football before continuing my football career for three years in college. Off the field, I’ve pursued a career as a pastry chef, working in various kitchens and teaching baking and pastry to college students. In 2021, I returned to Lane as a football coach. I take great pride in the teaching aspect of coaching and the opportunity to give back to Lane in a positive way. Wherever you go, whatever you do, remember the honor of Lane.
