Former Pioneer David Pinto returned to his alma mater in 2010 for his second stint working with the William Paterson offensive line, and he oversees recruiting for Hudson County. 

 An all-ECAC and all-New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) selection as a senior offensive lineman in 2001, Pinto’s expertise helped John Matthews (2012), Andrew Donnell (2011, 2014), Chris Osborn (2009, 2010), Dashawn Johnson (2013), Jalen Haynes (2013, 2014) and Ryan Sibole (2014) earn selections to the all-league team. Pinto played semi-pro ball with the New Jersey Colts (1996) and Giants (1997), as well as the Brooklyn Mariners (2008-09). Also a member of the American Indoor Football Association’s New Jersey Revolution in 2009, he played in the 2002 NationalAllStars.com College Football All-Star Game.

Pinto previously coached the Pioneer offensive line from 2002-04, and was the running backs coach at Saint Peter’s College from 2005-06. He worked with the offensive and defensive lines at Arthur L. Johnson Regional High School (2007-08), and led the school’s girls track team to the 2008 Group 2 state title. In addition, he coached the North Jersey Tri County Conference Division 6 championship team, Jersey City’s Lincoln High School, during the 2009 season.

Currently serving as a physical education, health and driver education teacher at Liberty High School in Jersey City, Pinto completed a bachelor’s degree in exercise and movement science at William Paterson in 2004, and he and his wife, Yvette, have a son, David.
