Growing up in Southern California, I  played from rec to club, on to high school, then to college & 6 years post college in the USL & NPSL! Through high school I trained professionally with Zac Abdel (G.K trainer at the time for the Los Angeles Galaxy later the U.S Men's National Team, & most recently training/coaching with Toronto FC.)​ After high school, I spent 2 years at Moorpark College & finished ranked 5th in the state of California in goals against, was named to the WSC 1st All-Conference & the WSC 2nd All-Region teams, received All-League Honorable Mention & was nominated All-American. From Moorpark I received a full scholarship to play out of South Georgia for my last two years, leading the entire NAIA in saves, saves per game & received All-League Honorable Mention two years in a row.

​​

After college, I played for 5 years in the USL & 1 in the NPSL, competing against the LA Galaxy, Chivas USA (now defunct), Mexico's U-20 National Team, & Puebla FC out of the Mexico's 1st Division, playing against players like Jared Borgetti, Carlos Ruiz, so many more!!  While in the USL, I remained the #1 keeper in the league for several years in saves, saves per game, & minutes played, while also receiving All-League Honorable Mention in the USL & NPSL multiple times & being named to the final NPSL All-Star selection.  At this time & for the remainder of my career, I trained with Ruben Messina; who played professionally out of Argentina & is the former head of Youth Goalkeeper Development for the LA Galaxy & Fresno Fuego of the USL Pro. Currently is goalkeeper coach for AV ALTA FC out of the USL Pro in Lancaster, CA
