As Johan Cruyff said, “It's like everything in football and life. You need to look, you need to think, you need to move, you need to find space, you need to help others. It's very simple in the end.” Or in the words of Dani Rojas, from one of my favorite shows, Ted Lasso, “Futbol is life.” I love the game. I love to compete. Whether I am playing as a defensive, central, or attacking midfielder, or a left, right or center back, I look to create advantages and chances to make the team better, everyday. I love a good laugh and my time with family and friends is always filled with good movies and sketch comedy. I’m also a certified lifeguard! For the last five years, my family and I have volunteered our time and opened our home to work with the Animal Defense League (ADL) to help provide foster care for more than forty dogs, with all three of our dogs having been adopted, including my dog Hubble, an American Staffordshire Terrier. I also enjoy family road trips (44 of the 50 states) and international travel (France, Germany, Belgium, Austria, and Spain), gaming, fishing, chess, fashion, money management, and F1 racing. Though I am a work in progress, my greatest strengths as a footballer are my character and versatility ~ striving to set a high-value standard for living and play that earns trust and respect from my communities and teams. What does the team need? I need a place with familial character to grow as a person, a student, and to pursue my ambition of playing professional soccer. I look forward to the opportunity to prove to coaches what I’m about ~ heart, soul, mind, and strength.
