Previous Soccer Playing experience (if any)

Why Phoenix FC? (What brought you here, what are your passions for the club)

I love sports, and I had a lot of memories as a kid playing for this organization. I’m excited at the opportunities we’re introducing and implementing for our players – I would’ve loved Clubhouse when I was 9 years old!

Your hobby outside of soccer

Dungeons & Dragons is still cool, right? Otherwise, watching hockey and Formula One!
