The Lombard, Illinois native, served as the associate club director at Piedmont Volleyball Club in Greensboro for four years. He led training sessions and practices at the club and helped recruit, train, and supervise the coaching and weight training staff of over 35 individuals. Paggao coordinated numerous tryouts and camps in his days with Piedmont VBC. In 2018, he was honored as a recipient of the American Volleyball Coaches Association Diversity Award for his efforts.
 
Paggao holds ample experience in university involvement, having worked as the assistant director of student involvement at Elon University during the 2017-18 school year. In the two years prior, Paggao held a similar position as a graduate assistant at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
