My soccer Journey:

Ever since I was little I always had the ball at my feet. I love soccer and everything that comes with it. The teammates, coaches, places you go, and relationships you build along the way make this sport more than just a game. I played Highschool soccer all 4 years at the Varsity level with a hunger and desire to learn and become the best player I could be. Multiple sessions a day, whether I was alone or with my Dad who taught me so much. I worked hard and commited to play soccer at the D1 level for Sacred Heart. At Sacred Heart, I played for the team during the 2018 and 2019 seasons. I played in all 17 games starting 12 and had two goals, 4 assists. Covid came in and I decided to take a shot at playing professionally. After a lot of phone calls, trips, and trials, I finally signed for Lansdowne Yonkers F.C where I have played almost 100 games, winning countless titles and a National Championship. We had an outstanding run in the US Open Cup where we played into the 3rd round losing 1-0 to Rochester NY, an MLS Next Pro Side.
