I’m from Arkansas born and raised. We are trying to work on it but when I was growing up there was no ECNL Soccer and there still isn’t. I had realized at 12 that if I wanted to pursue my dream of being a division 1 athlete. That I had to travel for it. This started off at Tulsa Soccer Club which was about two hours both ways. I trained there for three years and started to greatly improve. Then I decided to change clubs and we made the trip to Kansas. This was about three to three and a half hours both ways. This was a very long journey but thanks to my parents for all their sacrifices I was able to do it. I then played at Kansas City Athletics for two years. Then I succeeded in my dream of becoming a high level division one athlete at the University of South Alabama!
