I come from a soccer background. Watching my father coach and play and my brother play up until it was my turn to start my journey when teams were available. My father has won multiple state cup championships and is currently a scout and trainer for the New York Redbulls as well as coaching two teams at Trumbull United. I played for him for 5 years, from the age of 6-11, playing 3 years up and winning two state cups with that team. I then transitioned to beachside for two years. From there i played at south central academy. I was the 2nd person in the history of Trumbull high to make varsity as a freshman and went on to be the leading goal scorer in the fciac as a freshman. I left Trumbull high and went to south kent boarding school where i would go on to win two national championships and multiple regional nepsac championships under the legendary coach Owen Finberg. After that, i went on to play college soccer. I am currently still in college and playing at the upsl level as well as usl2. I had ankle surgery over the fall, so i will not be playing this school year. I have more than enough time to give my all to coaching and developing the next generation. Soccer is my passion and in my blood. Being a current player at a high level and playing amongst the top in the country has given me knowledge of the game that you cannot simply learn by watching videos or reading a textbook.
