2019 HighlightsPersonal Statement
I now play in the NPSL U19 Pilot League while attending University of New Orleans (Not a soccer school). Our games are streamed live on www.MyCuJoo.tv so you can see me and my mates in semi-pro action. Visit www.NOLAjesters.com for our game schedule and info on the U19 pilot.
I defend and attack down the side lines equally well from either the left or right side of the field. I am a right footed player but my preferred position is on the left side of the field because of my ability to switch feet (I shoot and pass with both feet). I have played for professional coaches from the UK, South Africa, Germany, Ireland and Moldova, so I understand the commitment and work ethic required to play in college and pro levels. I also work the NPSL team’s camps and Friday Night Youth Development sessions assisting younger players with their knowledge of the game. In January 2018, with NPSL Temecula FC, I traveled to the UK for 2 weeks (8 games total versus 3rd and 4th tier sides). This team was coached by Scottish National, Willie Donachie. In the last 2 years I have attended ID camps, and have learned from several NCAA soccer coaches about what it takes to be a successful student athlete. I love to play for teams that understand how to fully utilize my skills and abilities on the pitch while supporting my academics.
