Indiana Fire USSDA

Xavier University — BIG EAST
Signed with Xavier University men's soccer program in Cincinnati. Across 4 years: 77 career matches, 70 starts, 5,080 minutes played. Helped Xavier win its first-ever BIG EAST Tournament Championship in program history.
PBT Futbol

"I train players the way I wish I had been trained — with high-rep technical work, game-real pressure, and a coach who actually played at the level they're working toward."
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." — The verse that grounds everything PBT is built on. Discipline, belief, and consistent work.
