The Beautiful Game

I started playing soccer as soon as I started walking. I started off at the YMCA with my dad as an assistant coach. It was a way for me to just be around other kids and socialize. It then led me to love the game and start playing competitively. My mom is from Spain so that is where a lot of my passion for the beautiful game has come from. All of my soccer has been played here in Colorado. I started playing competitive soccer with Pikes Peak Rush. We won Colorado State Cup in 2012-2013 and got to go to Hawaii to play in the regional tournament. I played high school soccer at Palmer Ridge High School in Monument, CO. We made it to the 4a men's soccer final in 2012 for the first, and only, time in the school's history. We unfortunately lost that game due to it being played in a blizzard, which should have been rescheduled. I then went on to play soccer for Fort Lewis College. Just two years after winning the NCAA Division II National Championship in 2011 I joined the team in 2013. I got to share the pitch with some of the players that won the national title, and they were some of the most talented players I have ever had the privilege of playing with. I have played every position except for goalie, but I have primarily played defense majority of my career. I have played with the Sabers for a few seasons now and look forward to winning some trophies.
