He loves the discipline, the daily grind, and the challenge of constantly improving. Soccer fuels his passion, sharpens his focus, and brings him joy. He thrives on the competition, the teamwork, and the drive to be his best every time he steps on the field.
He’s inspired by Christian Pulisic for his skill, drive, and resilience—showing that an American can shine on the world stage. He also looks up to his Chelsea team for their grit and passion. Off the field, his parents and coaches inspire him to stay focused, humble, and hardworking.
I’m proudest of his relentless ambition—always the youngest, but never intimidated. From PDA’s top teams to extra training, he’s stayed hungry to improve. Now he’s drawing D3 interest but is aiming higher—working every day to earn a spot on a D1 roster.
