The unwavering love for the beautiful game has been in my blood since birth. Growing up in an extremely athletic household, I was always taught three very important things: love your family, hold the door open for people and your first touch is everything. Since the age of four, I have always had a smile on my face and a soccer ball by my feet. Other than my extensive playing experience ranging from varsity soccer to walking on a u23 semi-professional team, I also have many years of coaching and refereeing under my belt.
