Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I am an active communicator and direct my defense. Steady, patient and still in the crease. Outside the crease area I am not afraid to step out and pick off passes, with and without a 10-man ride, create caused turnovers around. Not afraid to take it up field when the hole opens, often drawing a penalty.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I bring the intensity and energy every play of the game. As a goalie, you can't save every goal, and I'm able to move on to the next based on the pre-game focus and preparations. I'm driven to follow the lead of my parents and create a better world for me and for them. My personality tends to be a friend to many and joiner of people from different groups.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

Boy Scouts (current Life Scout, Eagle Scout on track for 2025) Student-Athlete Advisory Council Fellowship of Christian Athletes Spanish Honor Society (volunteering and tutoring)

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

Senior Patrol Leader, Boy Scouts - elected by peers to lead & guide our Troop for full year. Boy Scouts provides the opportunity to provide leadership through event planning and execution, teaching and training others, and volunteer service hours to serve the community. Active in food pantry and distribution through my church - 10+ hours per year.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

I've used my perseverance and passion to grow on the field. I've given coaches the best view of my game, my leadership, and have earned starting roles. Is that significant? Not by all definitions, but for me, I have continually pushed myself and communicated with my coaches on "why me".
