What are your goals for the upcoming season? My goal for next season is to be a leader, build good relationships and win games with SWU.

Why did you choose SWU? I chose SWU because in my visit I felt like I was at home and everyone was welcoming.  I also chose SWU because I wanted to be the part of the rebuild and help Coach Q and the five guys that stayed.

What is your favorite thing about SWU? My favorite thing about SWU is that you can build relationship with anybody and be helped and encouraged.

Why is your sport important to you? My sport is important because it is my escape from everything.  Soccer is what makes me the happiest, and when I'm playing or practicing everything else goes away.

Who is your greatest influence in your life? Why?  My greatest influence was my grandpa.  Sadly, he passed a couple months ago.  HE taught me to be strong and to always give my all into everything I do.  He practically raised me and taught me everything I know.

Where do you want to be in five years?  In five years, I honestly have no idea where I'll be, but I know I will be doing something where I can inspire people and represent Jesus.

Favorite athlete? Lionel Messi

Favorite food? Rice and chicken
