I am a professional soccer player in the MLS for Houston Dynamo. I was born in the Chicago land area and have played soccer for majority of my life. I played Division I college soccer at Northern Illinois University, and now I am in my 5th year playing professionally. I have played at different types of levels professionally including Europe (Laliga 2), MLS and USL Championship. I’ve learned a lot throughout my years professionally and I am thrilled to give back my knowledge and experience to the next generation of players. One thing I want upcoming players to know is that it takes hard work and dedication to achieve your aspirations but most importantly to always enjoy the game. From my own experience I’ve learned that when I am having fun and enjoying soccer I am at my best.
