1. How did you first become interested in playing American soccer?
I come from a huge basketball family, so it is interesting that I started playing soccer in the first place. But my mom got me involved in soccer and signed me up to play when I was three, and I absolutely fell in love with it.

2. What has been your most memorable performance to date?
My most memorable performance would probably have to be when I got to play alongside Wayne Rooney in my first year as a pro. I was loaned in to DC United for a match against Puebla FC, a team from Mexico. It was definitely an experience I’ll never forget to play alongside a player like that.

3. What are your ambitions in American soccer for 2024 and beyond?
Soccer has done so much for me over the years. It has taken me all over the world, allowed me to connect with so many people from so many places, gave me an opportunity to get a free education, and taught me so many valuable lessons along the way. I’m so grateful for all of these things, and what drives me is the opportunity I have to see just how far I can get this game to take me.

4. Who has been a major influence or inspiration in your American soccer journey?
The biggest influence in my soccer journey has probably been my father. He is a college basketball coach, and although he knows very little about soccer, he knows what it takes to succeed in the sports world. The lessons and the traits that he instilled in me have without a doubt gotten me to where I am today.

5. What unique challenges do you find in American soccer that people may not know about?
Football is football at the end of the day, but I guess the biggest difference is probably that soccer is not the number one sport over here. While it is certainly growing rapidly, especially with the excitement building as we are hosting the 2026 World Cup, there is still some ground to make up from a popularity aspect.

6. What is a typical training day like for you?
A typical training day for me will usually start with a 7 am wake up. I eat my usual breakfast and head in to the training ground around 8. I’ll do my prehab/injury prevention exercises until our team meeting at 9:15. From there, we’ll do an activation as a team and start training. After the session, we’ll head to the gym for a lift around 12. After that, I’ll typically get some treatment, hot/cold tub, shower, eat lunch with the guys, and head home.

7. If you could give one piece of advice to someone new to soccer, what would it be?
If I could give one piece of advice to someone new to soccer, it would probably be that you get out what you put in. You can’t expect to perform well or enjoy success in this sport without being willing to put in the effort and the time.

8. Besides soccer, what other outdoor activities do you enjoy?
Besides soccer, I love most outdoor activities to be honest. I love to go on walks, hikes, anything that gets me out of the house and moving.

9. In what ways has Beet It Sport impacted your training and performance?
Beet It Sport has made a huge impact on my training and performance. I have noticed serious improvements in my endurance since starting the beet shots. I have also noticed a huge difference in my ability to recover from training session to training session and match to match from the regen cherry shots.

10. How did you hear about Beet It Sport?
A few of my former coaches and teammates had told me about beet supplements and all the positive effects of them. From there, I started to do my own research about some of the beet supplements that are on the market. I found that Beet It Sport was one of the few on the market that actually offered a product with enough nitrates to actually make a difference in your performance. Ever since, I have been all in on the products and have noticed huge impacts on my performance.
