My Story

Born and raised in Texas, my soccer career began at the age of three in the backyard with my older brothers. Throughout every phase of my development, I sought out the most competitive environments, participating in programs such as ODP and various club teams. This journey ultimately led me to the University of the Incarnate Word (UIW), where I was fortunate to play alongside many talented players and coaches. During my college career, I received all-conference recognition for my performance on the field.

After college, I pursued a professional soccer career in the early days of Major League Soccer (MLS), attending camps with teams like the Miami Fusion and Minnesota Thunder. However, I ultimately chose to focus on starting a family and building a business. I remained active in competitive soccer by playing for our local semi-pro team, the Austin Lonestars. Today, I continue to stay engaged in Texas soccer by competing in state cups and traveling tournaments with the Athletico United Football Club.
