Beaver experience:
I graduated in 2015 and had an amazing experience. I formed a lot of relationships there that will last me a lifetime. Steve Schecter is no longer there but I had a great relationship with him through soccer. Peter Hutton is also no longer there but I was able to form a great relationship with him.. My advisor, Mr. Rilla, Mr. McKinney, there’s many, many people that I still remember and think about here and there. I definitely enjoyed my time with them and they had a good impact on my life.

What is #happeningnow in your life:
Right after Beaver, I signed a contract with the New England Revolution. I spent five years playing for them. It was truly a dream come true to play for my hometown team. Growing up I always went to their games and I always wanted to play for that club in front of my family and friends. This past season I was in San Antonio and now I’m looking for my next adventure. Whether it’s in Europe or in Asia, I want to explore new places and get the most out of my career while I can. Right now I am going to rehab — in December I had surgery on my ankle. With the pandemic, I’m taking the time to spend time with family that I wouldn’t be able to if things were normal.

“Beaver allowed me to dream. They never shut me down no matter how big my dreams were. They allowed me to shoot for the stars and be ambitious. Anything that I wanted to achieve, Beaver helped me push closer to it. ”
