FAVORITE SOCCER MEMORY:
I’ve had some pretty cool experiences, playing against elite players like David Beckham, but if I’m being honest, my favorite soccer memory was from a High School playoff match. We (Squalicum HS) were playing a knockout game against some friends of ours on the Washington ODP team, from Meadowdale HS. They were winning 2-1 and in the dying seconds of the second half, I made a run behind the opponent’s backline, got a great pass from my brother, and hit a one touch finish past the GK sending us into overtime. We ended up winning in PK shootout and going onto the State quarterfinals. The joy of that moment is something I will never forget!

OFF THE FIELD:
I love hanging out with my partner Jess and my son Shiloh - hiking around the east bay - exploring different restaurants - and just enjoying some good leisure time. I also love to go snowboarding, surfing and mountain biking when the weather permits.
